Flooding in Catania due to bad weather: via Etnea and piazza Carlo Alberto overwhelmed by rain

A heavy downpour has caused numerous flooding in Catania this March Sunday, with streets submerged and widespread disruptions, especially in the historic center, where the water struggles to drain.

Among the hardest-hit streets are Via Etnea, Via Umberto, Via Grotte Bianche, and Piazza Carlo Alberto (La Fiera), transformed into real rivers of water. Pedestrians forced to make their way through the waters represent the difficulties of the situation. It would be advisable to urgently check the state of the drains and manholes, as any blockages can quickly worsen the situation. The forecasts predict at least two more days of heavy rain, making the maintenance of drainage systems essential to ensure the safety of citizens and prevent greater emergencies.
