Streets of Mandas become rivers of water and ice
CAGLIARI. Bad weather continues to rage over southern Sardinia, with the regional civil protection alert being extended until midnight today.
After a sunny morning, interspersed with some clouds, and temperatures that reached 25 degrees in Cagliari, from the early afternoon real water bombs hit the Cagliaritano and Campidano with thunderstorms and lightning. A strange atmospheric phenomenon occurred in Mandas, about sixty kilometers from the Sardinian capital.
Here the clouds unloaded large quantities of hailstones that invaded the countryside and the roads. Then came the rain that transformed the streets of the town into rivers of water and ice. Any damage to buildings, cars and crops has yet to be assessed. “With the council we have followed the situation of the storm and the violent hailstorm that affected Mandas and its countryside – explains the mayor Umberto Oppus – I called the executive for tomorrow at 15.30 to deliberate the state of natural disaster and count the damage to agricultural crops “.
Hail also on state road 128 between Mandas and Isili, where the circulation of cars was slowed down by the white mantle that covered the entire area, just over a month from the official start of the summer season.
However, the weather situation should improve in the next 24/48 hours. (HANDLE)
