The Tiber in spate

The sight of the Tevere or Tiber in full spate in Rome is a rare sight. But the incessant rain of the last few days filled the river to the brim and flooded the northern parts of Rome. Here is how it looked this morning at the Ponte Palatino and the Isola Tiberina. Notice banks where people usually walked or biked are completely submerged and so are parts of the Isola.
