Storm damage in Barga during the night

high winds bring down tree in Centro Storico

A sleepless night for many in Barga Vecchia last night as the tramontana .. a strong wind coming from the north swept through the city causing some light structural damage to many houses and a good deal of damage to one or two.

This morning the streets were littered with broken tiles lifted from the roofs by the gusting wind, but the most serious damage was to a parked car completely destroyed by falling branches and some structural damage to the surrounding houses.

The monthly market in Barga Vecchia was cancelled this morning due to fears of more tiles coming down to earth as winds picked up again mid morning.
