There is yet more unexpectedly large rainfall and resulting flooding. Heavy rainstorms in Italian city Livorno have killed at least 6 people and led to extensive damage.

Increasingly, these intense bursts of rain and the deadly flooding that accompany it are being recognized as the new normal. Less commonly noted is how this "new normal" tends to disproportionately hit the underclasses - the urban poor, agriculturalists, coastal communities, and poor women everywhere.
