The storm that struck Catania for hours transformed the streets of the city, and in particular the central Via Etnea, into a river in flood, and Piazza Duomo into a lake.
Flooded the historic market of the 'Pescheria' and the fountain was also invaded from where the underground river Amenano emerges for a while.
To aggravate the situation also the rainwater that pours into the city from the Etna villages and arrives copiously on Catania and an electric blackout that affects the historic center and which also affected the Town Hall
