November 03, 2021The damage that bad weather is causing in Naples and Campania is heavy on a day in which several mayors had decided yesterday to close schools considering the weather alert.

Strong wind and force 5 sea in the Gulf of Naples led to the interruption of connections with the smaller islands, Ischia, Procida and Capri. All hydrofoils and ships departing from Naples from the Beverello and Porta di Massa docks have been suspended. Only a few ferries travel to and from Pozzuoli.

The bad weather slowed the docking - also causing moments of tension among the passengers - in the port of Calata di Massa in Naples of the Driade ship that had left Capri; the situation was unlocked only with the arrival of the tugs.

In the port of Pozzuoli, a ship used to transport self-compactors for the islands of the Gulf during the departure phase "derailed" on the anchor chains of a stationary ship, and therefore remained blocked. Due to the strong sirocco, two ships collided, without serious consequences, at the Molo Beverello in the port of the Campania capital.

In Naples, a chasm was reported in Via Roma towards Scampia which involved a vehicle from Asia. The driver of a motor van was unharmed in the collapse of a tall tree in Quarto (Naples) in via Caselanno. Also in Naples, in via Rimini, in the Vasto district, says the regional councilor of Europa Verde, Francesco Emilio Borrelli, the tragedy was touched by the strong wind that caused a lamp to detach from a street lamp that ended up on a car while a tree fell near a school in the Posillipo district, damaging a car. "Another tree fell in via Tito Lucrezio Caro. 

On the seafront of Castellammare di Stabia - the images are contained in a video released on social media - a person was noticed on board a canoe not in the sea, but in what should be the road, Borrelli says again who calls for a strong activity of prevention. 

Flooding and inconvenience also in the Caserta area. In Casal di Principe there are several roads that have become rivers of water. The mayor Renato Natale Problems invited "all citizens to stay at home and go out only if necessary for the duration of the adverse weather conditions".

Bad weather continues to hit Italy. Today's orange alert predicted critical issues on parts of Lazio, Campania, Molise, Abruzzo and Sardinia. The new impulse of the cyclone Poppea is already underway and the meteorological scenario is destined to remain quite lively. Maximum attention to the possibility of storms in the upper Veneto, along the Tuscan coasts and in the areas between Lazio and Campania; the return of the snow, with flakes that may fall on the Alps around 1200 meters above sea level, should also be noted.
