"Deadly Storm Ciarán Wreaks Havoc in Italy's Tuscany, Leaving Death Toll at Seven"

The death toll in Italy's flood-hit Tuscany has risen to seven, with one person still missing, after rivers burst their banks following torrential rain. The River Arno, which runs through Florence, did not flood as feared, but nearby towns were heavily affected. Storm Ciaran, driven by a powerful jet stream, caused heavy flooding in several countries including Northern Ireland, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. Around 300 people have been evacuated in Tuscany, and the initial estimated damage is 300 million euros ($322 million). Italy, which is vulnerable to climate change, declared a state of emergency and allocated 5 million euros to assist the affected areas.
