Girl, 13, among dead as violent storms strike after three days of intense rain in region
The French interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, travelled to the island on Thursday and visited the worst-affected areas including the campsites where people died. The president of the executive council of Corsica, Gilles Simeoni, described a brief but “extremely violent and entirely unpredictable” weather event that lasted “dozens of minutes”.
Winds rose suddenly and were calmed within five minutes, said Carlo Alberto Tesserin, the caretaker of the basilica and bell tower. “These were not usual winds for us,” Tesserin told the Associated Press. The storm struck during Italy’s busiest beach vacation week. The mayor of Sestri Levante, Valentina Ghio, warned that whirlwinds were possible and appealed to visitors to stay away from beaches until the severe weather had passed.
