Hi everyone, just some local 🇮🇹 updates bc Fediverse is an international social network after all ✨
No good #news by the way.

#Floods are devastating the #EmiliaRomagna region in #Italy right now.
After 2 years of extreme drought, this May we had not a single week without rain. In particular, rain is falling continuously for about 2 o 3 days now (almost 200mm of rain in 48 hours).

The result is 14 overflown rivers
6 people died
thousands of evacuees
shitload of euros of damage

The #Reno river, the main one of the region, didn't overflow yet but water level is dangerously high.
Of course my house is right next its banks but luckily they have been recently raised so maybe hopefully we'll be ok.

This situation resembles a lot the 2021 floods in Western Europe.
So I guess this shit is just routine by now. At lest I hope this events can raise attention about environment management, since this stuff happens at various degrees of seriousness yearly but still water basins management is just LOL
