| Description: | Torrential rains and gale-winds batter Northern Italy. A Canadian tanker is damaged off Portofino and Venice is flooded to a depth of three feet. A pre-flood warning averted serious damage.
A black screen reads, "Bad Weather - Rain and Wind Flood North Italy." A wave is shown moving against a shore. A large tanker is battered by waves along a rocky cliff shoreline. A man wears a headset. The tanker is pushed against the cliff, and continues to be struck by waves. Saint Mark's Square in Venice is shown submerged by water. A man kayaks out from an archway. People walk or paddle boats through flooded streets. | |
