The yellow alert for the region was already expected yesterday. And right on time this morning the heavy rains arrived that in a few minutes flooded the Tyrrhenian Sea of Cosenza.
In the southern area of Paola, in the Badia area, an embankment of the Scirocco torrent collapsed and the streets turned into rivers of mud that flow into the sea. At the moment there are some families blocked in their homes.

The same situation also occurred in San Lucido, where the wind added to the water, causing lampposts to collapse, roofs to be torn off and falling on cars, and disruption to traffic.
