Homes evacuated in Emilia-Romagna region as pounding rain ‘well beyond the worst forecasts’ sweeps in
Storm Boris, which has killed at least 24 people in central and eastern EuropeJader Dardi, the mayor of Modigliana, a town in Forlì-Cesena province that was also hit badly by devastating regional flooding in May 2023, said the river had “exploded”.Water surged downstream, causing floods in the hamlet of Marzeno in Brisighella.
“A sudden and large wave is arriving from Modigliana, passing through the hamlet of Marzeno,” according to a message on the social media page of Brisighella’s town hall urging people in the affected areas to evacuate their homes. Displaced people would be accommodated in a school, the post added.“The situation is getting worse and it’s getting worse more rapidly,” he wrote on Facebook. “The river level is constantly being monitored and has reached 6.19 metres in Tebano.
Scientists say that extreme rainfall and flooding have become increasingly common and more intense because of human-caused climate breakdown.“Make no mistake. This tragedy is not an anomaly. This is fast becoming the norm for our shared future,” Lenarčič told MEPs. “Europe is the fastest warming continent globally and is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events.
