Impressive waterspout off Piombino, Italy

mmmmmm
An impressive whirlwind was spotted in the early afternoon off the coast of Piombino, a municipality in the province of Livorno.

Around 3pm, numerous citizens who were in Calamoresca, where in the meantime the citadel of the Colline Metallifere Rally had been set up, witnessed this spectacle of nature which, if on the one hand attracted the eyes of many, on the other frightened who feared it might advance from the sea.

The whirlwind , which was part of a picture of bad weather, dissipated quickly. The most attentive, however, managed to immortalize it.

Over two-thirds of French departments are still facing weather warnings on Friday (October 20), as a number of intense storms continued to hit the country.

In the south-east, the Alpes-Maritimes department faced a red alert (the highest possible) for heavy rain and flooding overnight, as the final thrust of an épisode cévenol storm hit the area.

Alongside this, six other departments in the area are facing tier-three orange warnings for heavy rain, river floods, and coastal flooding.

Elsewhere 66 other departments in France - almost all of the south barring a couple of departments in Occitanie, as well as the capital region, the east and the north - faced 'yellow' weather warnings.

These were mostly for stormy weather and strong winds, but also partially for coastal and river flooding and heavy rain.

Storm Babet: second severe flood alert in Scotland after two people die

nnnnn
The Met Office has issued a second "danger to life" red warning for rain covering the region in eastern Scotland already suffering unprecedented flooding.

The weather agency said the very rare red warning of severe flooding and disruption covered Angus and southern Aberdeenshire and was in place for the whole of Saturday. It came as a second person was confirmed to have been killed after a falling tree hit a van near Forfar on Thursday evening.

More localised than the red warning in force for Friday morning, it centres on the town of Brechin, where hundreds of homes have been inundated by flood water, as well as the coastal town of Montrose.

Rescue services have had to extract residents by boat who had not evacuated after Thursday's order for about 350 homes in the town, after the river reached 4.4 metres and breached the town's flood barriers.
