Devastation in NW Italy's Cinque Terre (5 lands)

[davide]

last tuesday 25 superstorms hit the 5 terre area in the north-west of Italy:



the little towns of Monterosso and Vernazza have been inundated by >500 mm of heavy rain in few hours! a huge amount of water, mud and debris literally have erased all commercial activities...7 deaths so far.
