Floods in Italy kill 10; Survivors plucked from roofs, trees
Flash floods swept through several towns Friday in hilly central Italy after hours of exceptionally heavy rain, leaving 10 people dead and at least four missing. Dozens of survivors scrambled onto rooftops or up into trees to await rescue.
Floods invaded garages and basements and knocked down doors. In one town, the powerful rush of water pushed a car onto a second-story balcony, while elsewhere parked vehicles were crumpled on top of each other in the streets. Some farm fields near the sea were meters (yards) under water.
Italy's emergency fire and rescue agency said that multiple people were also reported missing after at least 16 inches of rain fell in parts of the country on Thursday night.
The emergency agency said it rescued several people late Thursday and early Friday, some from rooftops and others in trees.
Many of the 300 firefighters on rescue operations waded through waist-high water in flooded streets, while others operated rubber dinghies to scoop up survivors along their path.
