Strong and incessant rainfall, landslides, floods. In the Lecco area, in the last few hours, they have been 120 people evacuated from a campsite in Dervio due to the danger coming from the full of Varro and by the mass of water accumulated in the reservoir of the Pagnona dam. A few days after the landslides in the Como area in Lombardy thus occurs another of the anomalous atmospheric events, but more and more frequent in recent years, son of climate change.
The state of the reservoir and the stream are constantly kept monitored. Two years ago a similar situation in the same area had caused extensive damage. The Tremenico-Subiale road was also closed due to landslides. Then there is also the provincial road 62 that was closed to transit until a later date, again in the province of Lecco, due to a large landslide of mud, rocks and debris, discharged on the roadway between Taceno (Lecco), in Valsassina and the locality of Portone di Bellano, a town that climbs upstream from the Lecco branch of Lake Como.
No vehicles or people were involved in the landslide detachment. But the umpteenth disturbance rages throughout the territory that has led to heavy rains, wind, thunderstorms and a sharp drop in temperatures, to the point that it has not even been possible to remove the debris for now. The provincial road 62, winding and steeply sloping, connects the Lecco coast of Lake Como to Valsassina. The municipality of Dervio has issued a general alarm to the population: move the cars from the pits and do not leave the house.
Even in the province of Como the worst was feared. THE fire fighters they made a fifty interventions starting at 4 pm, when they fell on the Como area severe thunderstorms. About forty firefighters were employed especially in the southern area of the province for flooding of boxes, cellars and roads, also following the flooding of two streams at Villa Guardia. The southern Como area, Fino Mornasco, Appiano Gentile and Bulgarograsso were particularly affected. Some people trapped in cars in underpasses o depressions in the roadway were helped out by the fire brigade. The areas already heavily affected by the landslides of the past weeks have been monitored, but at the moment no problems are reported.
