This is what the local media call what is threatening the residents of Crotone municipality. Authorities have sounded the alarm on social media over the so-called "water bomb", which has caused an immediate deterioration in atmospheric conditions, with heavy rainfall followed by flash floods.

Sudden floods have covered almost half of the city. Residents, unprepared for this whim of the weather look scared also because in the coming hours the situation may worsen. Authorities have called on residents to stay at home "for their safety and not to interfere with the operation of vehicles".
