Parts of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region were on high alert on Monday as heavy rains left rivers dangerously swollen.

The River Savio burst its banks in the province of Forlì-Cesena on Monday morning, according to the Italian Fire Service, which said it had rescued two people - a person with disabilities and their carer - who had found themselves trapped in their home.

Firefighters were also evacuating homes in Modena province as they warned that the Secchia and Panaro rivers could be next.

Roads and bridges were closed in some areas amid mud- and landslides, while trains between Rimini and Bologna were interrupted as the waters threatened to cover part of the tracks.

Winter is making a mid-May comeback in the northeastern United States early this week as snow returned to some areas with cold and rainy weather in other parts of the region.

The same storm that brought several rounds of severe weather and flooding rainfall to the south-central U.S. last week is bringing downright raw weather to the Northeast.

Mother's Day turned out to be a washout in much of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England, with rain and drizzle accompanying temperatures more typical of mid-March than the middle of May.

Snow could continue in parts of the Berkshires until the afternoon.

People were noticeably annoyed and surprised with the May 12 snow.

Over 300 yaks starve to death
At least 300 rare Himalayan yaks have died of starvation in the high mountains in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim, close to the border with China, authorities said Saturday.

A team of local administrators and veterinarians visiting the heights of Muguthang and Yumthang in northern Sikkim discovered the animals' corpses on Friday, said government official Raj Yadav. He said the semi-domesticated animals became trapped in December after their passage to the nearest village got blocked due to heavy snowfall.

Yadav said authorities tried several times to drop feed for the Yaks by helicopter but failed due to inclement weather. "The passage was cleared five days ago, after which our team trekked to the area to discover the tragedy," he said.

The areas of Muguthang and Yumthang are favorite grazing grounds for yaks in the region.
