October 8, 2005. Osimo (NA), Italy. This picture is distrubing realizing this is causing a great deal of flooding in towns that line it's banks. However, where the waterway is taking small twists and turns in it's travel reveal a high velocity of the water in the 'raised' water of the 'whirlpool' in the foreground. Dredging these waterways are necessary to contain future flooding. Photographer states :: This is normally just a little creek, but today it looked like this after hours of thunderstorms with heavy rains!!! It threatened many houses and many industries in the area!
