Sicily Mud Flooding Kills At Least 14
0|
Rivers of mud unleashed by heavy rains overnight flooded parts of the Sicilian city of Messina, killing at least 20 people, sweeping away cars and collapsing buildings. Hundreds were driven from their homes.
Rescuers with sniffer dogs searched Friday for several people missing after the mud swamped entire villages and suburbs of Messina on the island’s eastern coast, Mayor Giuseppe Buzzanca said. Rescue efforts were hampered by the fact that many roads were impassable and the terrain still unstable with continuing rain.
