Well I heard in the news that in last two days rainfall accumulated to 400 millimetres in some parts of Poland while annual average is 600 millimetres. Yes in two days 2/3 of annual rainfall

Im very proud of the alerting system in Poland: they were saying everywhere a week before that there are going to be floods and huge rains. 15 years ago it would be "ooops who would have guessed" 😮

It's bad here in Czech Republic, my town is totally under water :(

[cankucuk]

I' ve pray for those countries who suffered this disaster. Our hearts be with you.

Funny how the correspondent was in Warsaw, where the city has the lowest Vistula levels basically in recent history at only 20cm of water and not in areas that have more than 4-5 meters of water. It's not inaccessible as well many journalists go there and report on the spot.

Prayers for these country’s and people❤from🇺🇸

When Zambia wants that water, others are dying from water . Nature is unpredictable

Mother nature... we need to start to love and respect her.

Back in 97', In my home town, Duszniki - Zdrój ( 30 km from Klodzko which is shown here), the floods ripped asphalt off some of the roads.

It's a laugh seeing these images. The streets covered with water to one's ankles where there are places where dozens of houses are literally under the water, falling apart. The situation is absolutely dramatic in some areas, and it should be shown and told accordingly. Bad job BBC.

Its freakin bad...:( So many friends there. ...Leave houses, safe your lifes. Rapid floods are very disastrous. This night i cant just sleep.

Warsaw correspondent did his best to make it look like he's "out in the field" LOL

[nonamesorry]

I live in Poland, I am save because I live on mountainous terrain, just a while ago I was out to byu groceries and the clouds just ripped apart above me and it started raining really heavily, didn't expect these massive floods. Although I have been surprised by the most complete lack of rain here all summer.

Interesting that the BBC affords a correspondent in both Prague and Warsaw. Nice!

In Bangladesh it is also raining unstoppably....

This is the new normal. Municipalities need to redraw their floodplains and do what they can to get people out from living there.
