Flood in Poland














Following intensive rains in the south of Poland and in the Czech Republic, both the Vistula and Oder river systems (the biggest in Poland) are not able to deal with the amount of water. Poland is experiencing heaviest flood since years. Some experts worry that current situation might turned out to be worse than during the "Flood of the Millennium" in July 1997.
