Bad weather lashes Sardinia and in particular the south of the island.
After a sunny morning, interspersed with some clouds, and temperatures that reached 25 degrees in Cagliari, from the early afternoon real water bombs hit the Cagliaritano and Campidano with thunderstorms and lightning.
In Mandas , on the other hand, there was a violent hailstorm, with the grains of ice that invaded the countryside and the streets . Then came the rain that transformed the streets of the town into rivers of water and ice. Any damage to buildings, cars and crops has yet to be assessed.
"With the council we have followed the situation of the storm and the violent hailstorm that affected Mandas and its countryside - explains the mayor Umberto Oppus - I called the executive to deliberate the state of natural disaster and to count the damage to agricultural crops ".
Oppus himself comments on Facebook with regret: “Simply sadness. A year of work (after years of planting, enhancement, growth) and in a few minutes the work of our farmers is literally swept away ".
Hail also on state road 128 between Mandas and Isili, where the circulation of cars was slowed down by the white mantle that covered the entire area, just over a month from the official start of the summer season.
However, the weather situation should improve in the next 24-48 hours.
