Post by: zora on June 03, 2013, 06:43:14 AM: so we have some heavy rainfalls here in austria and this is how my capitol city looks like today (ignore the text, the pictures speak for themselves - the river on the pictures is the danube):

Post by: zora on June 03, 2013, 09:06:52 AM: thank you all! but i think as long as the bridges are above the water i will have no excuse. i am afraid to drive over them as the water isnt very far away from them and the bridge piles have to bear a lot of water pressure :shocked:

and i am afraid that once i am in the city i maybe cant get home again if the bridges are closed during the day -_-

one bridge is already closed:

@all - rain has stopped during the day and the river levels are sinking again :)

Eeeyup that's the corner of the town and also the lowest part wich mean it lies in the flood area so the Donau use to flood it every year. Oh and it's still far away from the record high water level plus the town's other parts are lying on highground.

I left Brissie right before the flooding in 2010/11 I couldn't believe the photos, my friends were all stuck at home as the closed the CBC. I hope they send everyone home before they close the bridge if they have to close it. Sending dry thoughts your way!

Post by: fingerpaints on June 04, 2013, 08:58:59 PM: Flood is terrible :( I had my home flooded out in 07 and it was one of the worst things I ever went through. So much devastation and sadness. I felt terrible I could not help our neighbours more but we were up to our chest in water in our own home, and everything from that point down needed cleaning and / or replacing. It took us two years to recover from it, and we sold up and moved as soon as we could.

I would not wish it upon my worst enemy, I just pray that everyone stays safe and water side's for you all soon.
