Marrobbio

There has been a strange phenomena in the harbour during the last couple of days.

The water level has suddenly rised and dropped by half a meter in ten minutes. It is caused by a rapid decrease and increase in the air pressure. It is well known in south Sicily and called marrobbio or meteotsunami.
