September 10, 2021 A tornado hit the island of Pantelleria and caused the death of two people and the injury of several others.
The whirlwind would have hit homes and cars in full swing.
The confirmation comes from the mayor of the island, Vincenzo Campo, who is following and coordinating the rescue operations.
"There are two deaths and several injuries - he says -. It was certainly a whirlwind that involved houses and even several cars. Research is underway. We are still evaluating what happened".
At the moment the emergency services of the 118 with the helicopter rescue are ready to intervene from Lampedusa. This will happen when the climatic conditions allow it. In fact, a wave of bad weather hit Sicily and by tomorrow the Civil Protection Department had already issued a weather alert.
"A real disaster, an unexpected event". These are the first words to the Italpress Agency of the Mayor of Pantelleria. "The searches by the carabinieri are continuing as the area is quite large - he says - but they are made difficult by the arrival of darkness".
