Europe now! Dam explodes in Poland! Flood of the century submerges Austria, Poland, Czech Republic

A dam has burst in the Polish town of Stronie Śląskie, sending a huge torrent of water crashing into the central European country, which has been hit by severe flooding, including in Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania, while Slovakia and Hungary could be next as a low-pressure system from northern Italy dumps record rainfall in the region. “There is no reason to wait,” Mayor Tomáš Navrátil told Czech public radio, saying the situation was worse than the devastating floods of 1997, dubbed the “flood of the century”. #Poland #Austria #Czech Republic #Opole #Flood #Hurricane #News #Natural Disaster #World Weather #Flood #Flash Flood #Heavy Rain #Rain #Weather
