Violent storms continued to batter the Lombardy region of Italy throughout the morning of September 22nd, 2025, causing severe flooding and extensive damage, particularly around Lake Como. Reports from 10:39 AM UTC indicate serious flooding in Cantù and Vighizzolo in Como, where a car was swept away. Earlier, between 10:05 AM and 11:35 AM UTC, flooding affected Niguarda in Milan, and the Brianza province, with the Mayor of Meda describing the situation as "apocalyptic." The storms, which began impacting the region with significant rainfall, have led to the destruction of several homes in Blevio, near Lake Como, as confirmed by sources reporting on the events. The intensity of the rainfall has been compared to previous flood events, with the Mayor of Meda stating, "I've never seen anything like this, the amount of water that fell is greater than that of 2014 when there was the flood," according to a statement released this morning. Social media posts shared during the reporting window between 10:39 AM UTC and 1:39 PM UTC depict widespread destruction, with one user describing the aftermath as seeing their "world turned upside down" with "roof is in the yard, the trees are naked." The storms have caused considerable disruption across the region, and authorities are continuing to assess the full extent of the damage.
