Flood devastated Italy

The northwestern region of Italy is suffering from a severe flood, causing landslides, destroying hundreds of houses and vehicles and killing at least 16 people.

On November 5, the worst flash flood in 40 years occurred in the port city of Genoa, the largest city on the northern coast of Italy. One-third of the average annual rainfall fell to Genoa in just 6 hours, killing at least six people, including two children. Hundreds of cars were swept away by the floodwaters, drifting into each other and completely destroyed. (Photo: AP)

Tuscany region in northwest Italy, after the storms swept the coastal area, causing
widespread flooding and landslides. Flash floods destroy the bridge, causing people to go
