Description
Foto scattata sul fiume Serchio qualche tempo fa . Ieri nel giorno di Natale il Serchio , proprio da quelle parti è uscito dal suo letto inondando le case di molte persone e credo non sia stato un bel regalo.
Photo taken on the river Serchio some time ago. Yesterday, on Christmas Day the Serchio precisely those parts came out of his bed, flooding the homes of many people and I do not think it was a nice present.
The Serchio is a river in Tuscany, the third of the region after the Arno and the Ombrone for length (111 km), and the second for average flow at the mouth (46.1 m3 / s). But when we consider the regularity of arrangement and the summer minimum flows, the Serchio, with its 11 m3 / s (of which almost half due to the River Lima), is by far the largest in the region.
LUCCA - full of the tributaries has caused a flood of Serchio Ponte S. Pietro. S. Maria a Colle flooded, weddings, cataracts. Five hundred people evacuated.
The alarm was taken the night before at around 21, when the river level began to rise due to strong rains. At 5 and 'Bridge was closed to traffic shortly after St. Peter and the bank Serchio sold for a stretch along a twenty meters. Shortly after flooding has also Contesora. The Municipality has issued an order to evacuate the families of the flooded villages, but many remained in their homes, when a few hours after water filled the basement, garages and office space for ground floors, dozens of people were trapped in upper floors of houses and condominiums, without light or heating. Fire fighters - with the support of teams from all over came to Lucca, Tuscany and Rome - have led rescue men, women and children moving aboard rafts, while the voluntary supply of potable water and other basic needs 'who had remained isolato.Un shelter and' was organized by the Civil Defense in front of the church of Maggiano. Protests from residents against the City of Lucca for the delay in the Civil Protection has warned them of the flooding of the Serchio.

wonderful picture!!!!!! Really no beautiful “gift”. It is to be heard sadly that many parts are inundated in Italy. I heard in the news of Venice.....

There are none so blind as those who will not see, in this case the officials who did not send out the warnings. Great picture of the river at a more peaceful time

Questa è una bella immagine! Il striature delle riflessioni mi ricorda un dipinto impressionista di una pioggia striato mondo. Buone feste This is a beautiful image! The streakiness of the reflections reminds me of an impressionistic painting of a rain streaked world.

grande foto e devo dire che ho pensato a te guardando la TV, ma mi pare di capire che tu eri fuori portatta dell'acqua!
mariogiannecchini
Grazie Sandra del tuo pensiero , ma non corro rischi , sono vicino ma in zona sicura ( unico rischio ; se l'acqua si alza troppo , puo' venirmi fuori dalla cantina ma mai ai livelli degli altri, in cantina ho una pompa a immersione apposta ) Sono le zone dove spesso vado a fotografare.

It seems so lazy and welcoming - how startling to hear it has a rage that is let loose on the people who live there. Gorgeous shot, sad news.

Ora osserva molto pacifico e sereno. Duro all'immagine l'acqua di orrore può causare quando si infuria. Colpo bello. Looks very peaceful and serene now. Hard to image the horror water can cause when it rages. Lovely shot.
