Under Water: Venice Hit By Severe Flooding
- Published on Nov 12, 2012 by ATOZTOPNEWS
Days of relentless rain have left more than two-thirds of the lagoon city submerged, as hundreds of people flee their homes.

Authorities said sea levels in the lagoon city reached a peak of 5ft (1.5 metres) above normal before receding slightly.
This marked the sixth-highest level since records began in 1872, Italian news agency ANSA said.
