Fresh Misery for Venice as More Floods Sweep Through the City
Показать описание
Venice was brought to a standstill, Friday, November 15, after a fourth successive day of floods peaked at 154 centimeters, closing shops, restaurants and even the city's famed vaporetti water ferries.
Although the new high tide, swollen by days of torrential rains, didn't reach the height of Tuesday's "acqua alta," or high waters, authorities say that more than 80 percent of the stricken city, a UNESCO world heritage site, is covered in water with shops marooned, homes flooded and street kiosks and newsstands washed away.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte declared a state of emergency Thursday after sewage-tainted water coursed down Venice's narrow streets and flooded the city's iconic St. Mark's Square. He called the flooding "a blow to the heart of our country" before taking a tour by powerboat to visit businesses and locals impacted by the tide.
On Tuesday, the water level surged 1.87 meters above normal, the highest since it rose to 1.94 meters during a 1966 flood that drove many Venetians to leave the city, never to return.
