Tropical Storms

In the Western Pacific Ocean:

Tropical depression 02w (Kajiki), located approximately 393 nm west-southwest of Manila, Philippines, is tracking westward at 30 knots. The final warning has been issued for this system.

Floods and snowstorms hit Europe

Hundreds of people have been forced to evacuate their homes in the Italian city of Pisa as the Arno River threatens to burst its banks. Italian police footage, filmed from a helicopter, showed fields flooded and houses isolated by muddy water.

Meanwhile in northern Serbia, strong winds forming snowdrifts have blocked roads and disrupted energy supplies. Soldiers and special police were deployed Friday to help evacuate dozens of people stranded in cars and buses on the blocked roads.
