The death toll in Bitti, Sardinia, has risen to three in flood, hitting Nuorese's town, local media say.
With a man overwhelmed by the water in his off-road vehicle, an older man drowned at home, and a third victim was an older woman.
Police, fire brigades, and volunteers try to recover the victims and help the affected.
Technicians managed to overcome a landslide and arrive in the town to repair the fault that blew up the electricity and cell phones that prevented communication for hours.
