Bad weather in Calabria, in particular on the Ionian: Tornado off the coast of Crucoli

In the first morning today in Crucoli (KR), off the coast of the Torretta hamlet, a tornado was immortalized with a mobile phone and posted on social media. The marine trumpet extended from the surface of the sea to the clouds moving switchedly and attracting the attention of passers -by. The column of air and water, which from afar seemed to branches into other weakest and most smaller, fortunately did not reach the beach, now no longer frequented as in the summer, and continued to download all its power away from the inhabited center.

These violent atmospheric phenomena occurred in the area also in 2008, 2020 and 2021 with damage to the homes and managers of the bathing establishments. Today’s event was also recorded in other neighboring countries as cariats and more distant as a mandiciccio in the province of Cosenza.
