26views

Heavy rains are returning to European countries.

For the second time this year, heavy rains hit Europe. The south of France and north-west Italy are currently in distress. The rivers overflowed their banks. Transport links have been stopped, schools and coronavirus vaccination centers have been closed.

It seems that the year 2021, like the year 2020, will be remembered by humanity for a long time.

According to media reports, heavy downpours that hit regions of France and Italy caused flooding.

Streams of water carry away parked cars, knock down trees, and flood city blocks.

Over the past two days, precipitation corresponding to the three-month norm fell across the countries.

In Liguria (Italy), bad weather in high mountain areas increased the risk of landslides.

In Savona, mud flows have already brought garbage and fallen trees to the city streets. According to forecasters, about 500 millimeters of rain fell on the ground here in just a few hours.

A red alert level has been declared in two regions of Italy, and rivers are overflowing their banks.

Authorities decided to suspend rail services and were also forced to close schools and coronavirus vaccination centers.

In France, disaster struck Marseille. As a result, drivers were trapped in their cars on the highways, and rescuers were sent to help.

Underpasses and metro stations are flooded.
