Catastrophic damage hits Rimini due to storm

A severe storm hit the Italian Adriatic coast around Rimini, causing significant property damage. The storm, which moved from Ravenna to Rimini just before sunrise, brought winds gusting over 100 kilometers per hour and heavy rain, sometimes with hail.

The roofs of several beach buildings were torn off, and many cars were severely damaged. Several campsites were also affected. Various underpasses were flooded, and uprooted trees on the tracks disrupted train traffic hours later.

Thankfully, no major injuries were reported in the storm. However, authorities have not commented on the estimated total amount of property damage. The region continues to be affected by uprooted trees, flooded underpasses, and damaged buildings, and firefighters are still in continuous operation.

The Adriatic coast is a popular destination for families with children in Italy, and Rimini and its surroundings are currently in peak season. Many families with children are on holiday in the affected areas, and foreign tourists are also present on the Adriatic coast.

Strong winds scattered sun loungers and beach chairs, adding to the chaos caused by the storm. Despite the challenges, the region's authorities are working tirelessly to clear away the debris and restore normalcy.

Information about who is conducting the repairs after the storm is not mentioned in the available sources. But one thing is certain: the resilient spirit of the people of Rimini and its surroundings will help them weather this storm and come out stronger on the other side.
