'As If We Were At The Beach:' These Apocalyptic Photos Show Venice's Worst Flooding In Decades
The highest tide in decades has submerged more than 85% of Venice in floodwaters, causing catastrophic damage to the historic Italian lagoon city and its monuments.
Brugnaro, who has blamed the city's second-worst flooding on record on climate change, declared a state of emergency and said the city will"need everyone's help to overcome these days that are putting us to the test." Venice was built on a series of small islands in a shallow lagoon and has slowly been sinking into the waters, a situation exacerbated by rising sea levels as a result of climate change. The flooding this week is the highest recorded in the city since an unprecedented flood in 1966.
