Water infiltration following heavy rains destroys Roman home that had survived 2,000 years of other weather and wear
"water infiltration following heavy rains and the heavy roof added during the postwar restoration were to blame."
It's funny (?) how these little details are quietly etched in one or two sentences in small places in articles, as if the theme of massive changes in water activity on the earth weren't all somehow obviously and importantly related.

This is included because the structural damage to the corner was potentially caused by ground movement/displacement that seems similar to other ground-related changes such as sink holes and flood-related earth changes that seem to be increasing (and seem also perhaps to be related to underground activity that relates to seemingly tectonic activity; all the volcanoes and earthquakes; perhaps to do with the change in ocean weight and density against the land with decreased durability with less forests and foliage to hold water and its weight in a sodden earth with permafrost)

24 November, 2008, 02:12
An enormous cyclone has wreaked havoc across Europe from Scandinavia to the Balkans, bringing snow gales and claiming lives. In Russia, weather surprises during the weekend started with beating two climate records, for warmth and low atmosphere pressure, and ended with a tempest and heavy snow which brought destruction and left more than 130,000 people without electricity.
This weekend marks a rapid halt to the abnormally warm weather which lasted in western Russia for most of November.
Moscow and St Petersburg suffered the worst because of the gale, where heavy snowfall along with strong winds have killed one person and injured several others.
....
In Germany, France, Poland and Romania snow gales brought chaos to the roads this weekend. Snow, ice and poor visibility caused a series of accidents across the areas and paralysed motorways.
In Italy high winds killed two people.
And just a week before the start of summer in Australia, an unexpected cold front meant outdoor sports turned to snowballing instead of surfing.
