West Europe braces for new storm after Ciaran

ROME — Shortly after Storm Ciaran lashed Western Europe, the region now braces for yet another storm, Domingos.

Seven deaths had been registered by Saturday in Italy, where strong winds and record rains had battered the central Tuscany region in particular.

The Italian government on Friday declared a 12-month state of emergency for the region, which has registered the worst flooding so far, and allocated 5 million euros ($5.3 million) to rescue and relief activities.
