In the Nuoro area it has been raining non-stop since yesterday morning and the alert for floods is growing .

The Preda Othoni dam, in Baronia, has overflowed and discharged into the Cedrino river which has flooded some areas of the countryside in Galtellì . The situation is under control but the mayor Giovanni Santo Porcu has reunited the Coc with the men of the Civil Protection, the barracelli and the forces of order.

Some suburban roads have been closed to prevent farmers from reaching their land and running risks caused by any new floods.

Critical issues are also recorded in Dorgali, the coastal center affected by the highest percentage of rainfall today in Sardinia: 208 mm. In the village the wells are blown up and in the streets there are various interventions by the Civil Protection.

The road that leads from the hamlet of Cala Gonone to Fuili beach, affected by small landslides, has been closed and various country roads are impassable due to flooding and the fall of some bridges.

The yellow alert issued yesterday by the Civil Protection has been extended for the whole day until midnight. "We are trying to monitor the situation minute by minute because the quantity of water is truly considerable: 290 millimeters of rain fell on our mountain tonight - said the mayor of Dorgali, Angela Testone - We work alongside the men of the Civil Protection who it is intervening in the most critical points.
