Disaster in Slovenia: storm brings land under water!

Slowenien - violent storms currently have a firm grip on Europe, especially the regions of Eastern and Central Europe. In Slovenia, large parts of the country are under water after heavy rains let the rivers step over the shores. According to the Slovenian news platform kosmo.at , the weather is hardly in need of improvement for the next few days. The environmental agency Slovenia has issued an orange warning for western and central regions, where up to 100 millimeters of rain could fall. The Vipava river, which is about to overflow, is particularly worrying, and an increase in the afternoon could lead to further floods.

In Romania, the weather disaster has already challenged fatal consequences. Four people died in the Galati region, while about 5000 houses were damaged by the floods, as the Rescue workers had to get hundreds of people out of their floods. The storms also spread to the Czech Republic and Poland, where thousands of firefighters were mobilized to fight the floods. In the Czech Republic, more than 2900 incidents, including floods and fallen trees, were reported and the situation is dramatic, with a significant increase in water.

disaster alarm in Austria

Austria is also severely affected. Extreme rains and wind speeds of up to 146 km/h have triggered catastrophen alarm in numerous communities, especially in the Waldviertel. The Lain seat river has left its course and many streets are under water. In Lower Austria, over 20 municipalities have already been declared a disaster area and the residents were evacuated as a precaution. There was also massive snowfall in the alpine regions of Tyrol, which significantly affects traffic.

The weather conditions remain tense and the authorities stir the alarm bells. Chancellor Karl Nehammer warned that the worst will still be ahead and that the coming days will be extremely challenging for the emergency services and the affected population. The situation requires comprehensive measures to ensure the security of everyone.
