Marsala whirlwind damages school and flips vehicle
A powerful whirlwind struck the Trapani region in Sicily, specifically impacting Marsala during the morning hours. The storm caused significant damage to the Alcide De Gasperi school, where students reported intense winds that moved desks and destroyed window fixtures and metal structures.
One resident, Marta Adamo, described the experience through her children's accounts. Her 18-year-old son was driving when the wind caused his vehicle to flip over. Despite the car being destroyed, he was able to exit the vehicle uninjured.
