A water bomb struck Cortina D'Ampezzo tonight, causing widespread flooding, and turning many roads into streams. Some smaller canals of the town are overflowed, and there are many basements invaded by rain. Great work for the firefighters, who tried to drain the enormous flow of water that had discharged downstream, towards the center of Cortina, from the highest areas with improvised channels. Semi submerged the path of the old railway. Fifty so far the interventions of the firefighters. 

Critical situation in the Verocai area, invaded by mud, while the foyer of the Alexander Hall congress center is also flooded. Already yesterday, bad weather caused a mudslide and debris a few kilometers before Cortina, in the town of Acquabona, causing the temporary interruption of the 51 of Alemagna.
