A baby and his grandmother, along with two other tourists, are missing in Italy following a destructive flood.

The recent floods in Italy have caused great devastation, leaving towns and villages in the central Tuscany region submerged under water. Among the missing are a five-month-old baby and his grandmother, as well as two tourists. The AP news agency has reported that their whereabouts are still unknown.

In an urgent search effort, rescue teams have been using various methods such as divers, rescue dogs, and drones to scour the area. The clock is ticking as they race against time to find these missing individuals. Meanwhile, the baby's parents and grandfather were fortunate enough to be rescued from a rooftop where they had taken refuge. The house they were staying in had been flooded due to heavy downpours in the Pisa province. As of now, it is unclear what their nationality is.

The floods were caused by a nearby river that overflowed in the town of Montecatini Val di Cecina. Luca Cari, a spokesperson for the fire service, expressed the difficult situation they are facing, saying, "We always hope to find people alive, but unfortunately, this accident doesn't leave us with much hope. The situation is extremely critical."

Similar extreme weather has been occurring around the world, from Europe to the UK and even South Africa. In Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, and Austria, historic floods have resulted in over 20 deaths and the displacement of thousands. In the UK, flash flooding in Bedfordshire and London left drivers and cars stranded. The Met Office had issued an amber weather warning for rain, and dozens of flood alerts were put in place as some areas were expected to receive more than a month's worth of rain.

In the French city of Cannes, strong floods swept through the streets, carrying away cars and people in its path. Meanwhile, South Africa experienced unprecedented snowfall, leading to road closures and major delays across the country. Clearly, this unpredictable and destructive weather has been causing chaos and devastation globally.
