Monterosso, a month after the flood . . .

I am re-posting this from another blogger, Little Paradiso:

If you don't have time to watch the video, look at the stills below.  It's fascinating to see the channels that were constructed below the streets that were supposed to carry off excess water during floods like this.  Apparently, during the last 100 years the channels were either covered for safety's sake, or were neglected, and in any event, not inspected and maintained.  The reconstruction project will include opening up these channels again.
