10 days after the disastrous floods and mudslides that devastated eastern Liguria and northern Tuscany, killing at least 10 people, with some still missing, torrential rains started again yesterday evening, from West to East and almost never stopped, until today's flood in my town, Genoa, killed 7, of which 2 children. I'm very lucky to live far away from the most dangerous torrents, but they are in the middle of the most populated zones and some criminal builders even covered small ones and built roads and houses on them in the first decennia after WW II, 5 of today's dead were in a road built covering a small one, that flows into the town's most dangerous one, so when the latter is in spate, the former can't flow anymore and it floods too, really the last place to safely build on...
