Violent storm on Lake Garda, super-hailstorm in Torbole – Veneto

(ANSA) – VERONA, 30 MAY – A violent storm accompanied by an exceptional hailstorm hit the upper part of Lake Garda in the evening. Especially affected was the town of Torbole (Trento), a well-known tourist resort on the outskirts of Riva, on the border with the province of Verona.
The storm, with strong winds, soon turned into a hail storm that continued for a long time, which in the end caused extensive flooding, with the grains forming a homogeneous surface of ice, like in a snowfall. The phenomenon also made traffic on the Gardesana impossible; water and hail invaded the streets of the center of Torbole, already frequented by a good number of tourists in recent weeks. There are no reports of damage to people, nor are there any news of critical situations from the point of view of safety. (HANDLE).
