CHILDREN AMONG DEAD FROM EUROPE'S STORMS IN FRANCE, AUSTRIA, AND ITALY

  • 19/08/2022

Areas of central and southern Europe have been battered by strong storms that have killed at least 12 people, including three children.

In Italy, Austria, and on the French island of Corsica, there were reported deaths, the majority of which were caused by falling trees.

Campsites on the island were destroyed by strong winds and rain, and in Venice, Italy, masonry was blown off the belltower of St. Mark's Basilica.

Following weeks of heatwave and drought across much of the continent, the storms hit.

Wind gusts of up to 224 km/h (140 mph) in Corsica uprooted trees and harmed mobile homes.

Authorities there reported that a 13-year-old girl was killed on a campsite by a tree that fell.
