St. Mark's Square reopens after floods

But Venice remains on edge due to high tidal waters over the weekend

VENICE, Italy - Tourists and residents were allowed back into St. Mark's Square in Venice on Saturday, a day after it was closed due to exceptionally high tidal waters that swept through most of the lagoon city's already devastated center.

Despite sunny skies, the city remained on edge due to more wind-propelled high tidal waters over the weekend. The city was struck last Tuesday by the worst floods in decades.
