[txt] New Sirens tell the Acqua Alta Story - livingveniceblog.com
I live on the first floor…thank heaven, because when I went down to check, the water was already at the height of the realzata portion of the entrata. By 9:00, it was four inches above it. At 10:15, there is a boat in the calle and bags of garbage that couldn’t get picked up bobbing toward the fondamenta. I am grateful I don’t have to go out this morning, and feel for the folks with two young children on the ground level below who, although they’ve installed the barriera at their door, have been hauling stuff off the floor since the wee hours just in case.
