25 October 2019Full rains and flooding in Sicily due to the bad weather that is raging on the island. The Civil Protection issued a red alert this morning in eastern Sicily and a yellow alert in the western one due to bad weather.

Schools closed in Caltanissetta, Catania, Ragusa and Syracuse. Ferrovie dello Stato has suspended the railway traffic on the Lentini-Caltagirone, Siracusa-Modica-Gela-Canicattì, Canicattì-Caltanissetta and Agrigento-Canicattiì lines. Furthermore, due to the damage due to bad weather, the Palermo-Trapani line, interrupted from 7pm yesterday , will remain closed until 12 today.

Already yesterday evening violent downpours and flooding in different areas of Sicily: particularly affected Mazara del Vallo (Trapani) and Sciacca (Agrigento).

The case of the elderly missing in the Agrigento area, in the area of ​​Licata, where they have been looking for hours in the Salso river, would not be attributable to the bad weather situation in Sicily. For the investigators, the hypothesis of a suicide would instead take shape. Investigate the carabinieri. Meanwhile, research is proceeding relentlessly in the waters of the Salso, in which the divers of Palermo firefighters are participating.
