Storm hits Pisa transport system, floods homes, hospital

(ANSA) - Pisa, August 24 - As many as 150mm of rain deluged the Tuscan city of Pisa Monday during a storm that struck from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m, flooding underpasses, businesses and homes in districts south of the river Arno and trapping a number of cars, firefighters said.
    The tempest also delayed traffic at Pisa's Galilei international airport, snarled road traffic along the Arno and local train services also were delayed, especially to and from Florence.
    Firefighters received hundreds of calls for help while parts of the Cisanello hospital were flooded.
