I have also seen the images of the floods in central Europe and they make the hair stand on end. The force of the water is unstoppable and yet we insist on building too close to its shores. In my city the river also grows at least a couple of times every year. The part that is known to be flooded are green areas so there is no danger, but in some areas there are leaks through groundwater and garages and basements are flooded. I hope there are no big problems where you live.

The peak of the high water wave is expected on Wednesday or Thursday next week.
I hope the rivers will not overflow, except in places where it is controlled.
Water always finds a path, but even in places where it constantly pours there is no harm, if there is a green surface.
I know that Valencia had problems with its river, which they moved and now there are beautiful parks in the former river bed 🙂
I don't live in Valencia but I know the city. That transformation has been a wonder.
In Zaragoza, my city, until an international exhibition was held in 2008, the banks of the Ebro River were almost wild. They arranged them to walk through them but they are flooded with floods. It is already taken into account and they cut off the accesses when the water rises.
Almost a week of time is a long time. Are there no dams on the way? That helps to control the flood, even if it does not avoid climbs it can make those damages less.
Today, the level of the Danube in Budapest rose by 1m in 10 hours.
We are waiting for that flood wave in Serbia in the coming days.
We have a dam, but only in the Djerdap gorge, over 100 km downstream.
Sending my best wishes, be prepared and stay safe. 🤞🤞
