Children were kept in school near
Savona Wednesday amid widespread flooding caused by torrential
rains.
Due to the heavy rains in the area, flooding of streets and
basements has been reported in the municipalities of Calice
Ligure and Celle Ligure, where the mayor Marco Beltrame amid a
yellow alert for storms launched an appeal "to keep the children
in school on the first floor this afternoon until further
notice.
"Let's pretend to be on red alert because the situation is quite
serious," said the mayor, "the Ghiare torrent is on pre-alert, a
large landslide fell on the Aurelia (highway) in Celle, and
(roads company) ANAS has taken action". The first citizen of
Celle also signed an ordinance that suspends all teaching
activities for Thursday.
