| Streets in Genoa, Italy have been littered with trash due to flooding |
Intense rains have had devastating effects in Genoa, Italy as the rains quickly turned into flash floods rushing into low lying areas. The floods came with almost no notice and citizens reported seeing cars float by them as well as the corpses of subsequent victims. Premier Silvio Berlusconi alluded to the fact that much of the area's in this problem was due to "improper construction in floods plains." This engineering problem resulted in the loss of 6 people and two missing. Although they admitted their fault, the local government of Genoa are looking for ways to correct the problem for the future.
