Tornado Strikes Sicilian Towns Near Marsala
Original: marsala sicily tornado
A tornado has hit towns near Marsala in western Sicily, damaging property and disrupting the local area. It followed a period of intense summer heat across Italy, and storm activity after the heat-wave caught residents and authorities off guard. Emergency responses were reported as people shared images of the destruction from the region.
