The Municipality has decided to close city parks and cemeteries. Anticipated by the red alert issued on Wednesday by the civil protection, bad weather hit the central and south-western area of Sardinia
Experts had announced particularly high rainfall, at least 50 millimeters in a few hours. And unfortunately the estimate was made by default. Fear in Capoterra, a town 18 km from the capital hit in the past by floods with victims and extensive damage to the entire territory, where the Rio San Girolamo overflowed in several points, flooding the roads and leaving dangerous debris on the roadways.
Many inconveniences in Cagliari city: Viale Diaz, which connects the center to the Poetto coast, has currently been closed to traffic in both directions because it is completely flooded. Super work for municipal police officers and firefighters. High water also in the very central via Dante which has remained in any case, albeit with great difficulty, viable, while in via Cocco Ortu, a stone’s throw from the San Benedetto market, the asphalt has even raised in some places. If in Cagliari around 4 pm the situation began to normalize, in the South West, in Sulcis Iglesiente the danger has not yet disappeared.
Weather alert extended – The Civil Protection has issued a new notice until 2 pm on Friday 11 September.
