Powerful tornado strikes western Sicily, causing destruction and injuries
Local firefighters are heroes. Glad the evacuation orders were issued quickly. Stay strong, Sicily!
Wow, I had no idea tornadoes could hit southern Italy like this. The footage is terrifying.
Climate change makes these extreme weather events more frequent and intense. We need to pay attention.
Fascinating how rare tornadoes are in Sicily. Did this form from a mesocyclone or a landspout?
I saw the damage on the news. It looks absolutely devastating. Hope everyone in Marsala stays safe.
