Italy: Flood kills 4 in Sardinia

ROME (AP) - A flood has killed at least four people in Sardinia after a sudden storm caused streams to burst their banks and damaged homes and infrastructure in parts of the Italian island.
Heavy rains early Wednesday caused a stream to flood the town of Capoterra, near the city of Cagliari.
The Carabinieri police say two men and a woman were killed when their cars were swept away as they were trying to escape. A fourth victim, an elderly woman, was trapped by water in her house's basement.

Roads and power lines were damaged across the Cagliari region, and authorities are using helicopters and army vehicles to evacuate inhabitants from flooded areas.
