SIGONELLA, Italy - After intense, unexpected rains flooded portions of Naval Air Station Sigonella, the community came together to support those impacted on base.
The base’s location on the low-lying, flat Plain of Catania is ideal for an airfield. But the rainy season means there’s a good chance of localized flooding.
A cyclonic storm expected to wallop Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily again fizzled out, to the relief of base residents and officials who began to turn their attention to recovery efforts from earlier flooding.
