At least six people were killed when the Italian port city of Genoa was hit by flash floods during torrential rainfall. Five of the victims, including two children, died when the lobby of an apartment block in which they had sought shelter flooded.
A woman was apparently by the water. The Genoa city website advised people not to leave their homes and to climb to the upper floors. People in Genoa were advised to stay on higher floors of buildings and several people are missing in the city already.
