At least four people have died, thousands of homes have been damaged and hundreds have been evacuated from homes after flooding struck central and eastern Europe on Saturday
At least six people have died after some of the heaviest rain in years hit central and eastern Europe, causing flooding and widespread disruption. A slow-moving low pressure system dubbed Storm Boris dumped a month’s worth of rain onto several of Europe’s historic capitals, including Vienna, Bratislava and Prague. The heavy rainfall continued to pummel the region into Sunday. One person died by drowning in Klodzko county, southwest Poland, on Sunday.
Poland’s Prime Minister, Donald Tusk told reporters Sunday: “We have the first confirmed death by drowning, here in the Klodzko County.” “The situation is still very dramatic in many place,” he added. “Unfortunately, these situations are repeating themselves in many places… but some residents sometimes underestimate the level of threat and refuse to evacuate.” Significant flooding is expected to continue in the Czech Republic, where authorities have ordered mandatory evacuations for some areas.
