Severe damage inflicted by storm in and around Rimini
Storm Causes Widespread Damage in Rimini
A severe storm hit the Italian Adriatic coast around Rimini last weekend, causing significant damage to buildings, cars, and infrastructure in the popular tourist destination.
The storm moved from Ravenna to Rimini, bringing heavy rain, hail, and winds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour. The strong winds scattered sun loungers and deck chairs, while several beach buildings had their roofs torn off, causing extensive property damage.
Several cars were also severely damaged during the storm, and various underpasses were flooded due to the heavy rain. The fire department was in continuous operation due to the storm, and train traffic in the region was disrupted due to uprooted trees on the tracks.
Fortunately, no major injuries were reported during the storm in Rimini, and many families with children were on vacation in the affected area. Rimini and its surrounding area are currently in the peak tourist season, making the storm's impact even more significant.
Meanwhile, in Hamm, the storm did not affect the city directly. There are no reports of cars being damaged in Hamm due to any weather-related incidents.
In other news, ASV Hamm-Westfalen started the new season, with their first match resulting in a derby win. The total property damage caused by the storm in Rimini is yet to be estimated by the authorities.
The Adriatic coast is a well-known destination for families with children, and this storm serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather and the importance of being prepared. The authorities are urging tourists to stay informed and follow safety guidelines during their stay.
