The full lightened by the opening of the expansion box at Roffia

Stop at the San Severo fair in Castelfranco, where the usual market in Viale Italia was canceled

A woman's voice attributed to the mayor, who already had his problems yesterday, that there was a serious risk of a flood. So much so that then Toti was forced, after a series of chains of Sant’Antonio turned to empty, to deny that message. In addition to the Arno, Santa Croce and Castelfranco found themselves having to monitor the tributaries. Since the morning the bridge in Santa Croce has been closed, followed by the closure of the Lami ramps and Piazza Nuvolari. The water has also invaded the Canottieri restaurant, so far difficult to assess what will be the damage due to the floods .. Also in Santa Croce sports facilities were closed as of yesterday morning and even today schools and municipal library closed.

In Montopoli, the first citizen Giovanni Capecchi has ordered with an order the closure of all municipal and private schools, of every order and grade. The same decision was also taken by the mayor of San Miniato, Simone Giglioli, which also followed the opening operations of the Roffia expansion box, which helped to lighten the flood. Between San Miniato and Fucecchio the level of the Arno began to fall (same effect for Pontedera after the opening of the Scolmatore), but there were floods in Castelfranco and Montopoli. The mayor Giglioli, as most of his colleagues were forced to do, urged citizens to avoid journeys by car and on foot unless strictly necessary, to avoid staying in the underground floors and ground floor, to secure assets and animals and to follow the indications provided by the civil protection of the Municipality. In the railway underpass at San Romano, near the station, a car was also trapped in the water yesterday. This is because even if the underpass is cordoned off and the danger has been reported there have been motorists who wanted to put themselves to the test, risking their lives if there had been a sudden wave of water. In Castelfranco, as we said, the San Severo fair was interrupted and today's market in viale Italia was canceled. Stop also to all sports events in the area. After the one in Santa Croce, the bridge over the Arno in Castelfranco was closed to cars and pedestrians. On the night between Saturday and Sunday there was a flood of the Egola in La Serra, with no people involved.

At a small bridge in Via Candiano in San Miniato yesterday afternoon, a train left from Livorno to Florence remained for a long time to allow Trenitalia to make a static check of the bridge. It was a small town that reported a problem. Once the absence of a danger has been verified, the train has departed. Carabinieri are also on site.

Firefighters, after flooding in the floodplain, have long patrolled the San Donato area. –
