Floods on the island of Sicily have resulted in casualties

At least two people have died in southern Italy from floods. Heavy rain caused flooding in Palermo, the capital of the autonomous region of Sicily.

Mayor Leoluca Orlando said the city received its highest amount of rain in its history in just two hours.

The amount of precipitation was equivalent to one year’s worth of rainfall, ANSA cited Orlando as saying.
