At Least 10 Die in Italy Flash Floods

TEMPO.CO, Cantiano - At least ten people were killed by torrential overnight rains and floods in the central Italian region of Marche, authorities said on Friday, Sept. 16, as rescuers continued to search for three still missing.

In Cantiano, a village close to the neighboring Umbria region, residents were clearing mud from the streets after torrents had swept through several towns leaving a trail of trapped and damaged cars, according to Reuters footage.

"My fruit shop has been turned upside down," Luciana Agostinelli, a local resident, told Reuters.

Around 400 millimeters (15.75 inches) of rain fell within two to three hours, the civil protection agency said, a third of the amount usually received in a year.

"It was like an earthquake," Ludovico Caverni, the mayor of Serra Sant'Abbondio, another village hit by the floods, told RAI state radio.

The head of the national civil protection agency, Fabrizio Curcio, met local authorities in Marche's capital city of Ancona to assess the damage, while party chiefs campaigning for Italy's Sept. 25 election expressed their solidarity.

Footage released by fire brigades showed rescuers on rafts trying to evacuate people in the seaside town of Senigallia, while others attempted to clear an underpass of debris.

Paola Pino d'Astore, an expert at the Italian Society of Environmental Geology (SIGEA), told Reuters the floods were due to climate change and were not easy to predict.

"It is an irreversible phenomenon, a taste of what our future will be," she said.

The fire brigade said that some 300 firefighters are currently operating in the area and have rescued dozens of people who had climbed on roofs and trees overnight to escape the floods.

Stefano Aguzzi, head of civil protection at Marche's regional government, said the downpour was far more robust than had been forecast.

"We were given a normal alert for rain, but nobody had expected anything like this," he told reporters.

Enrico Letta, leader of the center-left Democratic Party, said it would suspend campaigning in Marche "in a sign of mourning" and allow its local activists to participate in efforts to help the flood-hit communities.
