A severe storm hit Milan, causing a hailstorm described as large as an olive tree. The intense weather began shortly after 9 p.m., coinciding with the start of a concert by popular Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny at a local racetrack. Due to the deteriorating conditions, emergency services were required to evacuate thousands of attendees gathered for the event.
Initially, event organizers notified the crowd about a planned 10-minute break in the concert due to the adverse weather. Attendees were advised to remain seated, with the hope that the storm would pass quickly. However, as the weather worsened, organizers eventually issued a full evacuation order.
During the evacuation process, several visitors sustained injuries from the ongoing hailstorm, which continued to pose a threat even as the concert neared its conclusion. To assist with emergency response efforts and manage the flow of people, the Ur underground station was temporarily closed by authorities. The combination of the severe hail and the large crowd necessitated a significant safety response from Milan’s emergency services.
