‘Europe's
second longest river is set to hit unprecedented levels in the capital Budapest
in the next few days.’ – According to BBC news. Yup. Danube is going
to reach record levels this weekend in Budapest. Although it happens every year
- the banks of river are closed for a couple of week – this time it can be
worst of all time.
‘Central Europe's worst river floods in over a decade have already devastated large areas and forced mass evacuations in parts of Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. Budapest was expected to be worst hit on Monday, with forecasters predicting the river will rise to as high as 9 meters (29.5 ft) higher than the last record set in 2006.’ – According to CNN.
So sad, that only disasters – like this – can bring the nation together.

In Hungary most of our
news is about evacuations and damage. All local transportation is blocked, and
roads to the capital are blocked. The Hungarian Prime minister spent the night
at a military barrack in the flooded city of Győr. He’s been trying to calm the
nation as it becomes a national disaster. He said everything is under control
and military is ready to help with the worst. Interesting that he also denied
recent news about leaking dams.
Personally I can say is
that every minute another new record has been reached and what is the first
time was shocking now it just becoming scary.
Interestingly enough that many
communities including Gypsies who never contribute to anything are volunteering
to help sandbag our dams.
So sad, that only disasters – like this – can bring the nation together.
