Published on Nov 5, 2011 by Euronews http://www.euronews.net/ Efforts to clear up after flash floods killed six people in Genoa are being hampered by continuing rain. The Italian port city saw the equivalent of a third of its annual rain fall in just six hours on Friday, causing rivers to break their banks. Emergency services are checking mud-filled ground floors and basements, while some locals say deaths could have been avoided had schools been closed.
