Venice Under Water


The recent high water in Venice, Italy is the deepest flood in 22 years, and the fourth highest flood level in recent history. The water began to subside on Tuesday, while residents and tourists made their way through the city.

Although this flood was severe enough for the mayor to ask tourists to temporarily stay home, Venetian floods are fairly routine, several occurring every year, and residents usually take it all in stride.
