Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28626390 Portugal 11/28/2012 10:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A massive tornado hit a steel factory in Taranto, Italy, on Wednesday, injuring 20 workers. Reuters: Storm adds to chaos at troubled Italy steel plant Description of the video by YouTube poster Daniele Carbotti roughly translated from Italian: "A tornado was seen, pointed at the industrial port of Taranto, that lifted considerable material from the ground... In fact, you see a flash caused by damage to electrical equipment... Now you hear a lot of ambulances, certainly within the industrial center to administer first aid... THE KIND OF THING I HAVEN'T EVER SEEN. I just hope no one was hurt." The whole of Italy and the western Mediterranean is under the sway of a powerful fall storm. Weather observations from nearby Grottaglie show stormy weather starting at 0700 UTC (through at least 1200 UTC) Wednesday, including strong southeasterly winds, thunderstorms and downpours. The climate of southern Italy is somewhat like that of California. The weather is wet and, at times, stormy in the cool months and much drier and quieter in the warm months. Rare tornadoes are consistent with such a climate in late fall/early winter. [link to www.accuweather.com] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28647720 Portugal 11/28/2012 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tornado in Italy on Wednesday, 28 November, 2012 at 15:15 (03:15 PM) UTC. Description A powerful tornado on Wednesday struck a giant steel plant in southern Italy at the centre of a major labour dispute, leaving 20 workers slightly injured and one missing, as storms lashed much of the country. The missing worker at the ILVA plant in Taranto is believed to have been operating a crane at the port which was swept out to sea by the wind. "Divers are searching for him," Lino Ursi, a spokesman for Taranto's mayor said. A chimneystack was partly destroyed by the strong winds and explosions could be heard inside the closed facility, officials said. A regional emergency official, Fabiano Amati, said the storm had also struck a nearby school and six children had been lightly injured. The ILVA plant, which is the biggest steel mill in western Europe, has been shut since Monday because of a long-running dispute over pollution levels. The company said there had been "heavy structural damage" on the facility. [link to hisz.rsoe.hu] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 28647720 Portugal 11/28/2012 02:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Description From dangerously high winds in the south, to snow and freezing temperatures in the north with high water and flooding in Venice, all of Italy was in the grip of miserable weather Wednesday. Snows clogged the Colle della Maddalena and Colle del Tenda passes in the mountains between Italy and France and, with no openings likely until later this week, truckers and travellers were forced to detour. The bad weather, which comes after a similar wave of storms wreaked havoc earlier this month, also slowed searchers seeking three climbers who disappeared last weekend somewhere on Italy's highest alpines slopes. It is hoped that the trio, all experienced mountain climbers, have found some shelter from the inclement weather. Weather alerts were Wednesday issued for seven Italian regions. Strong winds were also a major problem in Italy's southern province of Campania, where civil defence authorities warned of heavy rains. Authorities in Tuscany were issuing similar heavy rainfall warnings as downpours brought by storm system Medusa raised fears of still more flooding. Rainfall forced a temporary closure Tuesday of the rail line between the cities of Pisa and Genoa, and the Aurelia highway near Carrara. As many as 28 people were forced from their homes by floods in the city of Carrara, reminding people of severe flooding earlier this month in many parts of Tuscany. More should be done to protect the region, Carrara Mayor Angelo Zubbani told Mediaset television. "Fifteen days after the previous flood we have this storm hit us, we're a fragile area with open wounds," he said. In Venice authorities were cautiously hopeful that the high water, which had reached 103 centimetres, will be lower than earlier forecast. Waters were flooding about 10% of the historic city's centre, lifted higher still by the force of sirocco winds. [link to hisz.rsoe.hu] |

A lot of artworks could be destroyed if the bad weather arrives there. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28400809 I adore Venice, it is a magnificent city so I can agree with you though of course I also feel for the people. Weather seems to be be getting a little crazier all around the globe. Be as prepared as possible is about all one can do. Stay safe all! |
