Images of the storm have been raging on social media in recent days. It happened again on Tuesday. Numerous towns around Lake Como experience floods and landslides.

Meteorites

The hailstorms looked “like meteorites hitting,” a reporter shared.

The town of Brienno, among others, has been hit hard, but that also applies to Tessin and Coldrerio. Dozens of people have been evacuated. There are no reports of deaths or injuries.

An Italian journalist speaks of a ‘disastro’, a disaster. His video shows how a woman on a scooter narrowly escapes a passing mudslide.

Wood

Lake Como itself is now getting fuller. Even all the debris that was dragged along comes to rest in the lake. A lot of wood floats on the surface.
