Weather - flooding

I wondered about this as well, having seen pictures of the river in Florence looking pretty fierce. I hope everyone is safe.

The river is not a problem in Florence, but small rivers in the province are. Pisa was safe only because there is a channel bypassing the city that can take away to the sea part of the Arno river water.

I saw "Flood Warning" icons popping up on Google maps around Prato yesterday. And now there are the same icons up but they are in and around the airport much closer to the city. But I have no idea of what is actually happening in that area.
