Flooding in Catania turned streets into rivers, Sicily, Italy

At least two people have died after a rare cyclonic storm battered Sicily leaving parts of the Italian island submerged. Town squares and streets have become lakes as widespread flooding left the city of Catania and surrounding areas underwater. More than 300mm () of rain - almost half the average amount expected on the Mediterranean island in a year - fell in just a few hours on Sunday, according to the Sicilian farmers’ association.
