Storm Harry, a recent weather event, has caused significant disruption in both Europe and Asia. In Sicily, Italy, the storm's heavy rain and strong winds triggered a massive landslide, resulting in the collapse of a 2.5-mile (4km) section of cliff. Over 1,000 residents of Niscemi were evacuated as a precaution, and geological surveys are underway to assess the stability of the area. While there have been no reported casualties, the landslide has caused damage to buildings and vehicles.
