Deadly floods batter Sicily as extreme weather hits Italy.
Fierce storms continued to batter southern Italy for a third day on Tuesday leaving roads completely submerged in water in parts of the island of Sicily.
Video filmed from an apartment balcony in the city of Catania showed cars submerged in water as powerful floods engulfed a road during a storm.
Italian weather site Ilmeteo.it said parts of Sicily and the adjacent toe of Italy, Calabria, were being pounded by a rare Mediterranean hurricane, known as a Medicane.
The Civil Protection emergency relief body issued another of its highest red alert for the northern and eastern tips of Sicily and parts of southern Calabria on Tuesday, warning of potential risk to life and damage to property in those areas.
The body of a 67-year-old man who died during the storm was found in the town of Scordia near Catania on Monday. His wife remains missing.
