Three-quarters of Venice, Italy was underwater on Monday as a storm brought a historic flood to the city.
Heavy winds raised the water levels by more than five feet, causing the worst flooding in a decade.
Residents and tourists alike struggled to get around the city, even in tall rain boots, and several tourist attractions were shut down as locals dealt with the rising waters.
Here are some of the most dramatic pictures from the overwhelming flood.
