Flood waters tossed cars around in
Torre Archirafi on Wednesday after the torrential rain that has
hit Sicily turned streets into rivers in the town near Catania.
Local people made over 30 requests for help to the emergency
services.
There were no reports of anyone being unaccounted for because of
the extreme weather at the time of writing.
Firefighters rescued a number of motorists trapped in their cars
by the floods in the town of Aci Sant'Antonio.
Another person was saved by the emergency services after their
home was flooded in Acireale.
