A downpour followed the fire, leaving the road covered in debris: "A black sea of ash."

The storm after the fires. A violent storm hit a small area of Goceano this afternoon, between Bottidda and Bono, precisely where yesterday a large fire burned the forests on Mount Rasu to ashes.

The road connecting the two towns has become impassable due to the large amount of debris washed away by the water. " A sea of black ash," some witnesses said.

The storm's strength is also confirmed by official data: the regional monitoring system's rainfall station recorded nearly 60 millimeters of rain in just a few hours.

Firefighters and police intervened to restore traffic on the Bono-Bottidda road. Some country roads were also damaged.
