Terrible situation in Sicily, more buildings are collapsing.

Описание: Terrible situation in Sicily, more buildings are collapsing.

A historic storm transformed Niscemi, in Sicily, into a city literally on the brink of an abyss. Four kilometers of the plateau that supports the city disappeared, opening a precipice of up to twenty meters and forcing the evacuation of more than thirteen hundred people.
🔍 In this video you will discover:
✅ How Cyclone Harry triggered the largest landslide in decades in Sicily
✅ Why clay soil becomes so unstable when saturated with water
✅ The impressive meteorological data: three hundred millimeters of rain in forty-eight hours
✅ The history of geological instability that had been ignored for thirty years
✅ How rapid evacuations saved lives and what could still happen
The Niscemi landslide did not happen out of nowhere. The city, located on a plateau with clay-rich soil, had already suffered a similar event in nineteen ninety-seven. But this time, the combination of torrential rains brought by Storm Harry - with winds of up to one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour and waves of sixteen meters - completely saturated the terrain, causing an unprecedented collapse.
