A devastating landslide has stranded numerous individuals in italy, coinciding with a tragic loss of life near Athens. Simultaneously, storm ‘Erminio’ severely impacted Greece, bringing with it powerful winds and substantial waves. This resulted in widespread flooding and significant disruptions to transportation networks.
Heavy rainfall on Wednesday triggered a major landslide in the Piceno region of central italy. The event effectively blocked a key roadway and left dozens of residents isolated. As a direct consequence, a rockslide in the southern town of Rapolla necessitated the evacuation of three families residing within a multi-story apartment building.
Social media images depicted a dangerously unstable rock face, supported by thick concrete slabs, positioned precariously close to the edge. Further compounding the crisis, a bridge in Montenero di Bisaccia, a coastal town on the eastern shore, collapsed into the Trigno River due to the extensive flooding. The situation highlights the severe weather conditions affecting the region.
While rescue efforts are underway, the scale of the damage remains considerable.
