floods in central Europe

[Kveta]

is anyone else watching the flooding get worse and worse?

looks like Prague is going to be hit again today - www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22752544

I lived in southern Czech Republic in 2002, just after the flooding back then, and the city I was in was devastated - hoping it isn't that awful this time round.

Passau in Germany looks utterly destroyed though :(

Hope it stops raining soon.

It looks awful :( is it due to the jet stream thing again? Those poor people.

My hometown is flooded which isn't that unusual. We used to get floods every years when further up the river the snow melted, to have floods in June is strange though. My mother says many farmers haven't even put the potatoes out yet and the asparagus and strawberry harvest is pretty much wiped out this year.
Spiegel has a liveticker on their website updating on the flood in Sachsen, Leipzig mostly.

Strangely, webcams in Ceske Budejovice all look like the Vltava hasn't burst its banks down there - so maybe the flood defences they built after the last floods have had some effect? Quite glad my in-laws are all on the other side of the country though, so I needn't worry about them too much!

It has been such a weird winter/spring this year, hasn't it?

According to friends in Germany it hasn't stopped raining for months.
Living at the West coast of Scotland it's been strange for me to say "it's been actually quite nice here, we've had a drought, there've been wildfires on the hills" every time someone in Germany complained about the weather.

it's awful :(

Highest water level in Halle for 400 years, says Spiegel.
And I have no idea how the people in Deggendorf are coping with this.
How are things in the Czech Republic, Kveta?
