Photo story: The aftermath of the fatal storms that struck Italy

Photos from Cuneo in Italy after record rainfall that caused heavy flooding that swept away roads and damaged homes. Two people died and nine people were missing in France and Italy after a storm hit border regions of the two countries.

Severe damage was caused in the center of Limone Piemonte which was isolated when the Vermenagna river flooded the village with waters up to 1.5 meters high.
