Salerno. Fallen trees, violent storm surges, flooded streets, strong gusts of wind and thunderstorms. The Salerno area is currently under the lash of bad weather. It has been raining incessantly for several hours. In Salerno, on Via Carlo Pisacane in the Torrione area, around 17.30:3 p.m., a large branch of a tree fell directly onto the road, causing disruption to traffic that was already slow. A team of firefighters is on site to remove the trunk from the roadway. In the Carmine area, however, the roof of a house was blown off the porch by the wind. Here too, firefighters are on hand to remove the unsafe structure and make it safe. In Scafati, near the Palamangano, streets are flooded and, due to the wind, invaded by debris, such as garbage and plastic boxes. In Atrani, on the Amalfi Coast, the waves have uprooted the outside of a dock. In nearby Amalfi, the force of the sea exceeds the breakwater and the water overwhelms parked cars. On the AXNUMX Naples-Salerno motorway, between the Angri and Nocera Inferiore junctions on the southbound carriageway, slowdowns due to flooding of the roadway. Damage has been reported to agricultural greenhouses and company structures, in particular to the roofs of stables and rural homes. The most difficult situations are in the Sarnese-Nocerino countryside and in the Capaccio area. Especially due to the strong wind, the mayor of Capaccio Paestum, Franco Palumbo, has ordered the closure of schools for tomorrow to allow for the verification of any damage to trees and roofs.
