The city's mayor blamed climate change for flooding of the historic canal city that saw the high-water mark hit 187 centimeters (74 inches) late Tuesday, meaning more than 85% of the city was flooded.

The highest level ever recorded was 198 centimeters (78 inches) during infamous flooding in 1966.
