Shocking amateur footage heavy floods in Genoa Genova Genua Italy !!!!! Television footage showed cars floating and people wading knee-deep through flooded streets in Genoa, the largest city on the northwestern coast.

One woman was reportedly crushed by cars being swept away by the water in Genoa.

Authorities described the situation as "extremely serious" and urged people to be careful.

"Don't leave your house, move to higher floors, close shops and don't get in your car for any reason," Genoa's town hall warned on its website during the height of the flooding.

Emergency services said at least six people, including several children, were killed in the floods.

Last week the government declared a state of emergency in the northwestern Liguria region and Tuscany after storms lashed the coastal regions, killing at least 10 people and causing widespread flooding and mudslides.

That flooding brought down bridges and houses. Widespread flooding and mudslides in villages in the picturesque Cinque Terre area cut electricity and blocked roads and railways.

People in some of the towns were evacuated by sea.

The government allocated nearly $100 million in aid for the area.

    Please don't use the word fag as insult! There is no shame in being gay!

  • Pray to Jesus to help you. Peace I am with you always. Peace be still He calms the raging seas.

  • nieztche was absolutely right about religion - he didnt mention the sleaze and corruption that goes with religion's obstruction to logic and to the proper prioritiation of the issues at hand. It is only fitting that Italy should surf it's descent into 3rd world status on humungus national waves of mud and garbage.

  • Insane footage! You should've auctioned this to the media on Bideo, could've made enough Euros to buy a new car. The news makes money from this stuff, why shouldn't you?!?

  • Stop the bloodclot crying!

  • i know 4 people who were there a week before this happened, i'm just very glad they weren't there (selfishly) and just hope ones who had to endure this cope as well as possible when your streets turn into rivers and people you know are injured or killed.

  • @nuclearthreat545 why is she crying?

  • I do find it strange that people always say, "how could this happen" or "this is a disaster, unbelievable"..

    Then you should know that Nature rules the Earth, not us.

    These kind of things probably happened a billion times before, but we are expanding our cities, and we live in a time when we know when a president or king farts the moment it happens because of mass media
