The city is bracing itself for the next high tide," Zaia said on TV. On Wednesday morning the tide level fell to 145 cm but was expected to rise back to 160 cm during the day. Video on social media showed deep water flowing like a river along one of Venice's main thoroughfares. "A high tide of 187 cm is going to leave an indelible wound," Brugnaro said.
