Cyclone Boris has caused heavy rains and floods across Europe, affecting Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Moldova. Lower Austria, surrounding Vienna, has been particularly hard hit, where one firefighter died during water pumping operations. The army had to be deployed to assist the region’s residents, Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner reported.
The Danube River overflowed, forcing thousands to leave their homes and causing disruptions in electricity supply and transportation infrastructure.
In Poland, the current flooding has been described as the worst in the past 100 years. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the situation in southwestern Poland "dramatic" and urged residents to heed local evacuation orders.
The water level in the Nysa Klodzka River in Klodzka was 6.65 meters on Sunday morning, compared to an average level of 1 meter.
Approximately two thousand people have been evacuated.
Four people have died in the Romanian city of Galați near the Moldova border. According to Mediafax, the victims were mostly elderly, including women aged 86 and 96. In the affected villages, water levels reached 1.7 meters, and residents had to climb onto rooftops to avoid being swept away by the current.
In parts of the Alps in Bavaria, rainfall is expected to range from 60 to 100 millimeters, and the German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts the first significant snowfall of the year: up to 50 centimeters of snow is anticipated in regions at elevations above 1500 meters.
