Whirlwind in Santa Marinella, boats destroyed. The video.

Horrible awakening for the inhabitants of Santa Marinella: a whirlwind threatens boats north of Rome. Much fear but with no injuries

In early November, a whirlwind hit Santa Marinella, a coastal town situated north of Rome.

It happened at dawn. At around five in the morning, the whirlwind became evident, raging against the background of the sky. When they woke up, the inhabitants had to deal with a strong wind that slowly approached the city center and forced them to take shelter.

After upsetting the town, the wind hit the port situated just below the castle. Several boats were there and were literally thrown on the ground by the whirlwind, being moved by their supports and falling on each other.

As you can seen in the video below and in the first photos, the whole row of boats was found destroyed. The wind, indeed, caused a domino effect, managing to almost overturn them.

Moreover, damage was also ascertained to some structures in the city and near the oratory of Via dei Fiori, where the children’s playground was upset by the fury of the wind.

The whirlwind, which at first threw the boats parked near the pier, then crossed the city, hurling branches, signs and light equipment to the ground, preventing the regular circulation of vehicles in the following days.
