Several areas in the northern part of the country were hit by a powerful wave of convective weather. Veneto and Piedmont experienced extreme downpours, large hail, downbursts, and damaging wind gusts. The worst damage occurred in Bovolone, in the province of Verona. A stationary thunderstorm system remained virtually stationary and dropped over 200 mm of rain in about two hours. This amount is comparable to several months of normal precipitation, all in a matter of hours. Bovolone was completely submerged. Streets, basements, garages, and cars were flooded. Strong winds toppled trees and damaged roofs. One tree fell on the Legnago-Nogara railway line. Firefighters had to rescue two people trapped in a van in the flooded area.
