"A sudden and violent flash flood has struck the alpine town of Bardonecchia in northwestern Italy following hours of unrelenting rainfall across the Western Alps. The deluge overwhelmed the Merdovine River, which broke its banks and tore through the town, sweeping debris, mud, and water through streets, homes, and businesses. The situation escalated so rapidly that local authorities had little warning before the water cascaded into populated areas.
Bardonecchia’s mayor has issued an urgent order advising all residents to stay indoors and refrain from driving." NN
