Floods and landslide debris in Laglio again

Good grief, what a mess! I wonder if George's home was affected. Seems like he can't catch a break. If it isn't water damage and flooding, (Sonning), it's landslides (Laglio) or water shortages (LA). I wonder what natural disaster will hit the estate in France or the property in Portugal. His house in Kentucky is on the water, too, so flooding may be a problem there as well. At this point the condo in Manhattan seems the safest bet.

Definitely being hit by the effects of global warming, isn't he? These pix show how close this is to his house. 

   But I can't blame him for choosing the most stunning places near water.  Brignoles is the exception I think. Wonder how Augusta is faring....

Hailstorms, heavy showers and strong gusts of wind are expected to follow the huge downpour in a region which is no stranger to biblical showers.

The amount that fell in the space of a few hours last night was more than the entire rainfall recorded between January and early May in Laglio.
In July last year, Clooney's villa was hit by similar flooding and the Hollywood A-lister helped locals clear the debris.
The actor was staying at Villa Oleandra with wife Amal and their twins Ella and Alexander when flooding caused by three days of torrential downpours hit.
A large expanse of mud, wood, and debris washed up against the villa and reached a first-flood balcony with the front door also blocked, Italian media reported.

The star was seen helping locals clean up the damage in Laglio and met with mayor Roberto Pozzi at some of the worst-hit spots. 
He also shook hands with local business owners, showing support for their plight.
'It's much worse than I thought', he told TV station TG1 in English, apologising for his lack of Italian.
'In Cernobbio the situation is serious. I spoke with the mayor, there will be a lot of work, it will take millions of dollars, but this city is strong.
'It will react and return better than before. This is a very resilient city.'
