We have the impression of being at the bottom of a pond but the reality, this time, goes beyond the fantasy. In Vicenza, a province heavily affected by bad weather, on Wednesday at 6 p.m., 147 rescue interventions by firefighters took place in 24 hours and 13 others were underway to drain flooded areas and cellars. And whoever filmed the video of the door (or window?) at “Waterproof» which is circulating on social networks, relaunched by the page «Welcome to the Favelas“. In the images you can see the water at a high level while a duck floats by in the background. In the Venetian city, 7 people who remained isolated in an equestrian center in Montebello, in the rolling basin area, were evacuated by helicopter and rubber dinghy, and 10 others were stranded via Marosticana inside a sorting center postal due to rising water levels. The city's Menti Stadium was also flooded while in some areas more than 240 millimeters of rain was recorded. More serious damage has been avoided to “the work we have carried out since 2010” assures the governor of Veneto Luca Zaia, who speaks of a “situation under control”. But the Region still announces a state of crisis.
