People walk in flooded streets during "acqua alta" (high water) on November 1, 2012 in Venice. Floodwaters drenched Venice's St. Mark's Square today as the City of Bridges was put on "acqua alta" (high water) alert and tourists donned their waterproofs and wellies. The "acqua alta" reached 130 centimeters at midnight. AFP PHOTO / OLIVIER MORIN (Photo credit should read OLIVIER MORIN/AFP/Getty Images)
