Watch: Huge landslide in Sicily after Storm Harry
Sicily hit by huge landslide in aftermath of Storm Harry
A 2.5 mile (4km) section of cliff has collapsed on the Italian island of Sicily, after it was pummelled by wind and rain brought by Storm Harry last week.
More than 1,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes in Niscemi and geological surveys are currently under way to asses the area.
There have been no reports of deaths or injuries, but aerial footage shows numerous buildings and vehicles have been destroyed.
The landslide occurred on Sunday with parts of the cliff continuing to crumble on Monday, according to local media.
