One woman died and other people were still missing after heavy rains caused a landslide on the Italian island of Ischia, a local official said.
A wave of mud and debris swept through the small town of Casamicciola Terme in the early hours of the morning, engulfing at least one house and sweeping cars down to the sea, media reports and emergency services said.
The rescue effort was hampered by continued rain and high winds, which also delayed ferries bringing reinforcements from the mainland. Trees were upturned and cars left battered on the side of the road or in the water, according to images published by emergency services and local media.
