🇮🇹 Powerful thunderstorm hits Sora, Lazio region (July 17, 2025)

🌩 On July 17, a violent thunderstorm struck the city of Sora, in the province of Frosinone, central Italy. Within minutes, visibility dropped almost to zero due to intense rainfall and wind-blown debris. Hail battered rooftops, cars, and pavements, leaving behind ice accumulations and damage in several districts.

Strong wind gusts bent tree branches, toppled smaller trees, and scattered debris throughout residential and urban areas. Roads became hazardous, particularly in tree-lined zones and suburban routes, as fallen branches and waterlogged surfaces created dangerous driving conditions.

The Patriot Festival in Palombara Sabina, a nearby town, had to be canceled due to the approaching storm system. Emergency services were placed on alert, and local residents were advised to stay indoors until weather conditions improved.
