Bad weather alert in Tuscany, strong thunderstorms and hydrogeological risk
Bad weather warning in Tuscany, la regional hall of civil protection has issued a yellow weather alert for hydrogeological risk and strong thunderstorms.
Bad weather warning issued for Sunday 2 June from 1pm to 8pm.
Eugenio Giani, president of the Tuscany Region, announced it via social media.
As Giani underlines, “scattered thunderstorms are expected from the afternoon in inland areas, locally strong in the central-northern provinces”.
So bad weather returns to Tuscany.
Bad weather in Friuli sees the firefighters working tirelessly in the search for the three young people overwhelmed by the flood of the Natisone. With drones, helicopters and directly in the water with aquatic rescuers and divers.
The heartbreaking images of the three boys hugging in the middle of the river before being swallowed by the flood are making the rounds on the web.
The water flows of the Natisone river were made known in the morning and afternoon of Friday 31 May. These are fundamental data to understand the exceptional nature of the event which involved the three boys overwhelmed by the flood.
The numbers refer to measurements upstream of the site of the tragedy. The river takes about twenty minutes to reach the site of the tragedy. At 11.30 the water flow rate was still only 20 cubic meters per second, within a very wide bed. At 1pm, that is when the boys were already on the riverbed, the flow rate suddenly became 135 cubic meters per second. At 1.35pm the boys were hit by the flood and raised the alarm at the same time as numerous passers-by.
At 3pm the Natisone’s capacity had reached 250 cubic metres, and the firefighters’ desperate searches with boats and divers were already underway.
