Italy - While southern Italy swelters, parts of the north have been wracked by violent storms and torrential rain. One man died when his car got caught in a flash flood near Turin. Guido Zabena, 51, drowned in an underpass on Monday night after driving in without realizing it had rapidly filled with water. Since then the storms have swept east, triggering floods and landslides in Trentino-South Tyrol. Lightening struck the region more than 2,000 times in three hours on Tuesday. Torrential downpours caused flash floods in the town of Moena, where some 50 people were evacuated from their homes as a tide of mud and debris swept through the streets. There were also sudden hail storms, prompting authorities to deploy snowploughs in early summer. In the city of Bolzano, which also saw unseasonal hail, the temperature plummeted from 32 to 20 degrees C in the space of an hour. In nearby Merano, winds were recorded blowing up to 77 kilometres an hour. No one was reported hurt in South Tyrol, though firefighters were called out several times to deal with fallen trees and other debris.
