People wade along a flooded street of Venice, Italy, on Monday when, according to city officials, 70% of the lagoon city was inundated as the water rose up to 156 centimetres. Tourists and residents alike donned high boots to navigate the streets of Venice after strong winds raised the water level 156 centimetres before it receded. The water exceeded the raised walkways normally put out in flooded areas in Venice, forcing their removal. Venice frequently floods when high winds push in water from the lagoon, but Monday's levels were exceptional. High winds toppled trees that killed passers-by in four incidents in Naples, Lazio and Liguria.
