Alleghe: water bomb, Rusech floods

Streets flooded last night and problems for some basement. Resident moved to the hotel.

ATTACHMENTS. Half an hour of hail and driving rain and Alleghe ends up underwater: the area between Masarè di Alleghe and Santa Maria delle Grazie is affected. Via Coldai and the cellar of a house are also flooded. The seat of the Green Cross of Alleghe is lapped by the flow of mud and water.

An evening of ordinary madness due to a very violent storm.

“Hail like peanuts, the salad is in shreds”: so wrote some residents on social media, after the buriana. And not just the salad from the garden: the flowers on the balconies also got the worst of it.

The greatest inconveniences, however, occurred along the roads: a real overflow that of the Rusech: the stream that descends from the Civetta has flooded and created inconvenience to the roads, coming out of the banks. Water, mud, stones filled the square of the Croce Verde headquarters and the nearby Agordina.

It was around 8 pm when the storm broke out that brought out all the municipal vehicles and the technicians of the municipality, together with the mayor Danilo De Toni who followed the operations personally and mobilized civil protection.

The Agordo firefighters intervened immediately avoiding the total blocking of traffic along the roads invaded by mud, water and debris. Circulation has progressed slowly and in some areas even alternating one-way while mechanical vehicles and firefighters have provided for the safety of the roads, including the stretch of Agordina.

“We were affected by a storm with hail that affected Alleghe up to the outskirts, up to Santa Maria”, explains the mayor Danilo De Toni. “The street of the stadium and also the square has been flooded, but now the water is flowing out, fortunately,” continues De Toni around 9.30 pm last night, on the phone, while he was directing the operations together with the deputy mayor and with the teams mobilized.

“Then the Rusech stream overflowed, a cellar flooded in a house where there was a surge of water, A lady was hosted in a nearby hotel. Now let’s do a reconnaissance to check the situation if it is returning to the affected areas and to see if there are other damages elsewhere “continued De Toni last night” The stream brought mud and debris into the street: the workers of the Municipality arrived immediately, civil protection and firefighters: all municipal civil protection bodies have been activated. The emergency is returning: we are monitoring and controlling the territory, we have concentrated in the valley where there were the most evident damages, now we will do the rest of the Municipality. You think that between Alleghe and Caprile there are 4 kilometers of distance, but the hamlet was fortunately spared: there he did nothing. From what we know it shouldn’t rain any more. ‘
