A violent whirlwind has caused severe damage at a boatyard near Marina di Carrara, Italy on 18th August 2022.
According to a LinkedIn post by Giovanni Soldini, the wind lifted a Maserati Multi70 out of its supports and threw it to the ground metres away.
The extent of damage to the vessel is still being determined, with ultrasound analysis to take place to further assess the points that had been hit.
Soldini emphasised, “These violent weather events, which cause very serious damage, are linked to the high-water temperature of the Mediterranean and are increasingly frequent. The climate emergency is there for all to see, and to limit the consequences we must act now.”
According to WWF, the Mediterranean is becoming the fastest-warming sea on the planet, with temperatures rising 20% faster than the global average.
