Tourists, Venetians slosh through flooded lagoon city 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressTourists and Venetians alike have donned high boots and taken to raised walkways to slosh through the high water that has hit much of the lagoon city. Venice’s tide forecast office said the water level peaked at 1.27 meters (about 4 feet 3 inches) Tuesday morning but warned that an even higher tide was forecast for after nightfall. The high water invaded cafes and stores. Many hotels keep disposable knee-high plastic boots handy for tourists.
