ROME -- The death toll from torrential flash floods that whipped
the Mediterranean island of Sardinia has increased to 14.  Olbia
Mayor Gianni Giovanelli told Sky TG24 that the city had been
destroyed by the "apocalyptic" storm, with bridges felled by
gushing, muddy rivers and water levels reaching 3 meters (10
feet) high in some places.  Sardinia Gov. Ugo Cappellacci said
the toll had reached 14, with a family of four, reportedly of
Brazilian origin, the latest victims found.
