He left the house at dawn and was hit in full by a whirlwind that left him no way out.

Thus a 53-year-old man died in Modica, in the Ragusa area, hit in full by the violent vortex.

The whirlwind hit the districts of Trebalate, Serrameta, Sant'Elena and Bosco, also affecting the fruit and vegetable market area of Comiso.

The provincial road 7, which leads from Comiso to Chiaromonte Gulfi, was closed after the covering material of the fruit and vegetable market flew from the roofs of some shops and ended up on the road.

Firefighters, police and technicians from the municipalities intervened on the spot.
