Kiosks and beach clubs damaged, mountains of sand swallowed by the sea. These are the effects of Cyclone Harry along the 4 km of Cagliari's Poetto beach . The watershed is the roundabout at the Lido beach club. On the right, closest to the Sella del Diavolo, the beach looks much the same as last year. On the left, however, the undertow reaches just a few meters from the beach huts.

This position is an implicit response to Mayor Massimo Zedda's proposal, which in the days following the cyclone had suggested transferring sand from the quarry along State Road 125, on the road to Burcei.
