"SHIROKAYA BALKA, Russia -- Torrential rain continues to sweep across
Europe causing havoc and the loss of dozens of lives.
Property and crops have been destroyed, residents have been made homeless
and tourists have been left stranded in usually sun-drenched tourist resorts.
Venice is under threat of flooding after the sea level around the city rose
by 90 centimetres (35 inches) above average.
Other countries hit by the downpours have been the Czech Republic, Austria,
Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine. Heavy rain and thunderstorms have
swept across northern England leaving dozens homeless.
In the north of France more than double the normal rain fell in July.
Austria has seen the highest level of rainfall in a two-day period since
records began more than 100 years ago, Otto Svabik of the Austrian Central
Institute of Meteorology told Reuters."
