Cagliari still under water: "Natural disaster". In Sant'Anna Arresi the farewell to the pensioner killed by the fury of the current

Still bad weather in Cagliari , still high risk.

Mayor Paolo Truzzu is preparing to proclaim a state of natural disaster and meanwhile confirms, even today, the closure of schools . The bad weather, which showed a few hours of leniency in Cagliari, made itself felt in the early hours of the afternoon, also causing the flooding of some institutes. At the Satta the water ran right into the elevator, while at the Manno in via del Collegio several classrooms were invaded by the rain.

Therefore, the didactic activities have been suspended, even if the school administrators will have to guarantee the supervision of the complexes for the necessary technical checks. Parks, sports facilities, libraries, museums and nursery schools are also closed. Barred gates in the cemeteries of Bonaria, Pirri and San Michele.

Due to the new weather alert issued by the Civil Protection, the University has also suspended lessons, exams, exercises, seminars, laboratories, student collaborations, Erasmus. Also in Capoterra, Sarroch, Pula and Villa San Pietro, the mayors have ordered the closure. So in Monserrato, Muravera, Castiadas, San Vito, Villaputzu and Villasimius. In Quartu the mayor Graziano Milia has decided to limit himself to not opening the kindergarten in via Prati (water infiltration and collapse of plaster) and secondary school in via Bach due to electrical risk and falling plaster.

In the capital of Sant'Elia the sewage, also due to flooding and damage to the black water distribution network, began to flow from the toilet and bidet, invading the bathrooms. In piazza Silesu and via Schiavazzi, the auto-purgers had to intervene to allow the residents of the high-rise buildings to continue to stay in their homes.

Meanwhile, in the operations room of the Regional Civil Protection, monitoring of the weather conditions continues unabated, while the alert remains high throughout Sardinia.

STATE CLOSED - Even in these hours there are inconveniences to the road system: at km 29 + 500 on the Sp17, coastal road that leads from Villasimius to Cagliari, while waiting for the removal of a boulder, the road was manned by the soldiers of the Aliquota Radiomobile of San Vito and forbidden on a lane. At km 23 + 200 there was a road failure. On highway 195 limited circulation in both directions from km 15 to 28.

FUNERALS - Today in Sant'Anna Arresi is the day of pain. The community will meet in the parish church of Sant'Anna to give the last farewell to Antonio Cinus, the 81-year-old pensioner killed by the fury of a flooding stream .

The villagers, on this day in which city mourning has been proclaimed, will gather around the old man's wife and his six children: Paolo who last spoke with his father while the flood wave was about to overwhelm him, and his five brothers and sisters who live far from home and who were suddenly joined by the terrible news of their father's death.

Yesterday there was hardly any trace of the stream that dragged the old man and his car away: "You can walk there wearing a pair of boots - says Elio Cogotti who lives in the hamlet of Is Cinus, the scene of the disaster, and that on Sunday he made himself available to host the rescuers and relatives of Antonio Cinus on his land - it happens after every rain that swells this small stream. The time to drain the water and practically disappears. But in the many years that I have lived here I do not remember a similar flood. I myself was alerting the Civil Protection when the tragedy occurred. I had probably just entered the house when Antonio passed in his car, if I had seen him I would have put him on alert ”.
