Venice's Hungry Tide

A general view toward St. Mark's Basin during exceptionally high water

Earlier this month the tourist mecca of Venice experienced a dramatic bout of acqua alta — or high water — flooding, brought on by heavy rains that led to much of the coastal, historical city of bridges and canals getting swamped. This is just so horrible . . . one of my favorite cities. Between Hurricane Sandy and now this, I am just so concerned about the changes in our earth's weather patterns. What will come next?!
