Summary

Thousands of acres of mud tell the story of disaster in the coastal area of Tarquinia, North of Rome. The Via Aurelia, the main road along the coast, was swept and smashed by the sudden deluge, bridges over 2 rivers were destroyed, trees were down and cars buried. Three days later, the search for victims still goes on, and 12 had already been found.
