Man, first time I saw it since I live in Rome.

That's pretty bad. Are you safe at least?

Three of your galleries date from 2006 (?). Is there flooding going on now too?

I hope everyone is safe!

Edit - I see the other gallery is current. Bad flooding!

Actually all the galleries are current, (lazy webmasters I presume), yes the flood is going on now, the worst should be this night according to experts. People should be safe, probably lots of damages.

It looks awful. But I've GOT to ask

What happened to the seven hills we read so much about in Virgil and history books?

They are still there, I live on one of them, but, you know, all those immigrants from Thracia, Epirus, Britannia and the rest of the Empire, we should place them somewhere.

Ah, on the floodplain...

Looks pretty severe in Rome. Not to mention all of that water-skiing in Venice recently.

SW of England was also hit badly with flash floods overnight. Quite a few roads cut off in Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset.

Glad I live on an incline !

At the moment the worst seems gone, but they forecast some heavy rain for tuesday.
