Heavy Rains, Floods Hit Italy; At Least 6 Dead in Tuscany.

Rome, Dhu-AlHijjah 19, 1438, Sep 10, 2017, SPA -- Torrential rain in Italy triggered flooding that killed at least six people Sunday in the Tuscan port of Leghorn, including a family of four who were trapped by rising water in a basement. Two other people were reported missing. Strong winds toppled trees and parked cars were nearly submerged by floodwaters that left the streets clogged with mud. "The city is literally devastated," said Leghorn Mayor Filippo Nogarin, adding that "a crazy amount of rain" pummeled the area in just a few hours, AP reported. The flooding also interrupted train service in parts of the Tuscan coast along the Tyrrhenian Sea. --SPA 21:17 LOCAL TIME 18:17 GMT
