What was the reason behind the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix cancellation?

The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy, scheduled for May 21, 2023, was canceled due to sudden floods, its management announced on May 17. It was the first Grand Prix canceled since the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, which was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The floods had disastrous effects on the Emilia Romagna region. Interestingly, another major racing event, the Coca-Cola 600 race, scheduled for Sunday, May 28, 2023, at Charlotte Motor Speedway, was postponed to Monday, May 29, 2023, due to persistent and heavy rain. This was the first time inclement weather forced the Coca-Cola 600 to run on Memorial Day afternoon since 2009.
