Residents are carried on the rubber dinghy of Italian firemen in Turin's popular quartier Borgo after river Dora Riparia burst its banks, October 16, 2000. An army of 7,000 emergency workers and volunteers, supported by 18 helicopters, evacuated more than 7,500 people from the region on Sunday as floodwaters threaten to engulf their homes. Train services between the key industrial cities of Milan and Turin have been cancelled and electricity service was cut off in several mountainous communities around Turin.
