There have been six Italians killed to date after horrible storms caused massive flooding in northern and central Italy over a three day period. The storms caused secondary problems when the massive amounts of water also caused mudslides that killed a mother and her son after the muddy soup swept their house away and another mudslide killed a 38 year old man in a nearby city. On Monday and Tuesday flood waters tore down power lines and flooded streets in Tuscany and other nearby villages. In this case, there seemed to be a very novas warning system in place as many seemed to be caught off guard by the mudslides following the rains. The rain was predicted to move southward in Italy which could cause more devastation as many of the area rivers are also already flooded.
