Death toll rises from Italian floods
- 13 years ago
Debris and trucks stuck in mud --- the aftermath of flooding in Northern Italy.
At least nine people are believed dead and six still missing.
A torrential rainstorm overflowed the banks in northern Tuscany prompting mudslides.
Cars could be seen lying one on top of the other and many roadways are still flooded.
Rescue teams say they are having difficulty accessing certain areas along the coast. Northern Italy was hit with more than 19 inches of rain within a few hours.
