The severe weather conditions began early in the morning, resulting in fallen trees and damaged roofs. According to Civil Protection, a tree falling onto a high-voltage power line cut off electricity to approximately 2,900 customers. Local roads were also affected, with several sections closed to traffic due to debris and vegetation on the pavement.
“"It is unacceptable that we lose all connectivity during these events."
Local leaders expressed growing concern over the increasing frequency of such extreme weather events linked to climate change. They are calling for urgent investments to strengthen the power and data grids, ensuring that mountain communities do not remain isolated during future storms.
