(VIDEO) Potop u Veroni: Reke kiše uništile grad

Teško nevreme pogodilo je italijansku Veronu.

Guverner Veneta Luka Zaija proglasio je kriznu situaciju, prenose mediji. Grad je toliko napadao da su se ulice pretvorile u reke, a oluja je oborila oko 500 stabala. Voda je u nekim ulicama prešla čak metar i po.

It is no longer a question of when. This is #verona, my city, after a storm,taken by a citizen. The problem is not that it is catastrophic, because it is not, but the greater frequency and violence of these events. The containment systems of cities are collapsing. #ClimateChange pic.twitter.com/97GWNqwemZ

Nadležne službe primile su oko 220 poziva, ali srećom, nije bilo povređenih.

Značajna šteta nastala je u provincijama Vićenci i Padovi, a u Kortini su se pokrenula klizišta.

„Vetar, kiša i grad ogromnih proporcija pretvorili su grad u bojno polje. Za 10 minuta, Veronu je pogodila oluja slična Vaiji“, rekao je gradonačelnik Federiko Sboarina misleći na snažnu oluju koja je 2018. godine opustošila severoistočne delove Italije.
