George Clooney and his family were caught out by floods in Italy as they vacationed in their Lake Como holiday home in Laglio.
More than 60 people were rescued after laglio and other towns surrounding Lake Como were swamped. Tree trunks and rocks washed down the mountainside and swept past Clooney’s home but Clooney and his family which included wife Amal and 4 year old twins were not hurt and there were no damages to the properly.
Clooney was photographed with Mayor Roberto Pozzi as he offered his support to locals.
“It’s so much worse than anybody thinks. We were in Cernobbio and it was very bad, but here in Laglio it’s much worse,” Clooney told Italian media. “They think it could be years and millions of dollars before they fix it up.” “This town has been here forever, it’s going to continue and it’s going to be stronger and come back better. This is a very resilient town,” the actor added.
