More dangerous weather: Cyclone Cleopatra kills at least 14 in Italy
ROME -- At least 14 people were killed by storms that tore through the Italian island of Sardinia, with many areas still out of reach of rescue services early Tuesday.
Cyclone Cleopatra caused rivers to burst their banks, sweeping away cars and flooding homes.
"We haven't seen a situation as extreme as this, perhaps for decades," Giorgio Cicalo, an official from the Civil Protection Authority in Sardinia told RAI state television.
Regional governor Ugo Cappellacci told SkyTG24 television that the town of Olbia in the northeast had been flooded with several bridges down and there was a similar situation near the central town of Nuoro.
