Milan, 20 August (LaPresse) – ‘Orange alert in Milan. Heavy rain since 2 a.m., with almost 50 mm falling in two hours. Also in Monza.’ This is what Marco Granelli, Milan's Councillor for Security and Civil Protection, reported on social media. “The Lambro river has exceeded 2.40 metres in Via Feltre, where it rose by 1.70 metres in two hours, and therefore the CEAS community has been evacuated,” he added. 'In Ponte Lambro, Via Vittorini has been closed with mobile barriers because the Lambro is high and so is the sewerage system, and we are therefore at risk of flooding. The rains are less intense in the Seveso basin, so the reservoir is ready but has not yet been activated."
