Italy NOW! Storm "Hans" Unleashes Unprecedented Flooding in Piedmont

Storm "Hans," which began battering Western Europe on April 15th, hit Italy with torrential rains, gale-force winds, snowstorms, and severe flooding. The northwest of the country, particularly the Piedmont region, was hardest hit by the disaster. Over a 48-hour period, nearly 20 inches of rainfall were recorded— an all-time high for the area. Local authorities declared a state of emergency. According to Marco Gabusi, the regional civil protection advisor, the preliminary damage is estimated to be in the tens of millions of euros.

In Piedmont alone, at least 500 landslides were reported, cutting off roads and isolating entire towns. Several rivers overflowed, prompting a red-level alert for the Po River, which rose more than 16 feet in just one day.

In Turin, bridges such as Ferdinando di Savoia and Amedeo VIII were closed, riverside roads and public parks were flooded, and homes, streets, and schools were submerged. More than seven hundred firefighters were mobilized to clear fallen trees, pump out water, and mitigate the effects of landslides.

In Strambino, rescue teams evacuated people from vehicles trapped in floodwaters after a river burst its banks. A 92-year-old man died after floodwaters entered his home, leaving him unable to escape.

A tragedy unfolded in the Veneto region, where a father and son lost their lives after their car fell into a sinkhole that suddenly opened on a bridge and was swept away by flood currents. Firefighters discovered their bodies on the morning of April 18th after overnight search efforts.

In the Aosta Valley, over 7000 households across 37 municipalities were left without power.

The growing wave of natural disasters, witnessed not only in Italy but across the globe, is driven by massive geodynamic shifts taking place deep within the Earth. These changes occur cyclically, approximately every twelve thousand years. In parallel, human activity has worsened the situation — specifically, through the pollution of the World Ocean, which is the Earth’s primary cooling system, with microplastics.

Together, these factors pose a grave threat to all humanity. We encourage you to explore the report “A Brief Analysis of the Climate Situation” by Dr. Egon Cholakian, a representative of the ALLATRA International Public Movement. In it, he presents a hypothesis on how these geodynamic processes may evolve in 2025. Based on years of observation and advanced scientific methods, the report analyzes possible developments in Italy and other critical regions across the planet.
