Flash flooding affected several regions in Northern Italy on Wednesday, leaving at least two injured and farmlands destroyed.

Heavy rains hit the city of Carrara in Tuscany, causing two rivers to burst their banks and flood the nearby area including an industrial center and neighborhood, according to the GlobalPost.

"A high-amplitude weather pattern was responsible for Italy's high-impact weather this week," weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Erdman said. 

Euronews reports that two-thirds of the flooding in Carrara subsided by Thursday.

Around 450 people were displaced by the flooding and 300 required rescue in Carrara, according to the Reactions Catastrophe Center.

Rain wasn't the only problem this week, however.

"A slow-moving, U-shaped southward plunge of the jet stream carved out over the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa. Ahead of that, moisture was pumped into southern Europe, leading to rounds of thunderstorms, and heavy snow in the Alps, as well," Erdman said. 

In Sicily, a tornado damaged several roofs, while two waterspouts formed off the northwestern coast of Italy in Liguria.

Tuscany’s agricultural association said the flooding destroyed orchards, vineyards and livestock populations.

Following the flooding, red alerts have been issued for other areas in Italy including Rome and Sicily.
