Heavy rains were expected on the Oristano, an area now marked in orange on the map of the alert system of the regional civil protection.
In Siamanna the mayor Franco Vellio Melas had the nursery school in via Gramsci evacuated as a precaution: the firefighters intervened because the square in front of the institute, in the lowest part of the town, was flooded and the water level continued to rise steadily under the flood. The little pupils were carried away in the arms of the firemen. The structure was not damaged.
In Terralba, on the other hand, where the streets turned into rivers during the last downpour ( news and video here ), the mayor Sandro Pili yesterday had already issued an order to close the institutions of all levels for today .
The switchboard telephone of the Oristano fire department at the end of the morning returned to ring at normal levels.
But the bulletin of the Civil Protection speaks of possible localized thunderstorms, even of strong intensity, which could be accompanied by hail. The guard remains high throughout the province, where it is continuing to rain.
