    Many roads had to be closed and around 50 people were evacuated from their homes. A group of 13 people, including staff and excursionists, were isolated at the Taramelli mountain refuge in Val Monzoni.
    Around 3,300 lighting bolts hit Alto Adige during storms there, while gale-force winds were causing problems near to Lake Como.
