Caltanissetta - Sicily
Imagine that the floor in your home begins to gradually increase in temperature and that this becomes so hot it reaches 100 degrees and impossible to stand on!
Science fiction?
No, this is what happened in the province of Caltanissetta (Sicily) beginning last May, when a family from the region of Riesi was forced to evacuate their house.
Curiosity and fear immediately gripped them along with other citizens of that Sicilian locality that some geophysical phenomenon was on the point of unleashing itself on them.
Quickly students of the Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Palermo carried out several underground surveys but, apparently, the experts categorically excluded any natural phenomena that can justify the abnormal increase in temperature.
So what is the cause of the phenomenon?
The mystery remains unsolved for the moment, while the family is evacuated from their home.
