La Dominante, Venice, which is already reeling under severe floods is likely to face another 'exceptional' high tide that could reach 160 cm right after Sunday noon, news agency ANI quoted the Centre for Forecast on Tides in Venice. As a no-brainer, this spells trouble for the lagoon city where the authorities have already called on people around the world to help brace the flood damages. "The tide could reach 160 cm (5.25 feet) just after midday on Sunday. The mayor has also been appointed as the special commissioner to deal with the emergency-like situation brought on by the flood. The floods hit Venice subsequently on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and now another tide is likely to hit the canal city on Sunday.
