The flood of the century?

From last weeks Tuesday the Danube which has already destroyed many things in Germany, Austria, Czech, etc. arrived also to Hungary. Last time in 2002 there was such a dangerous situation because of this amount of water. Along the Danube, not only one village's inhabitants had to move out and leave their home, now knowing when can they return to the beloved place.
At the weekend, the increasing passed Győr. Lot of streets, bridges are closed, and maximum the firefighters and other official servants can use those ways. Between Győr and Budapest the railways is also threatened so exact parts are unusable and traveller have to transfer to buses.
The flood comes to Budapest these days. We hope, that this week the bigger amount of the water will move.
A lot of volunteers also took part in the protection.
I'm also a member of a local volunteer firefighter crew, and we also tried to help.
Take a look at the photos and the website, (Budapest - photos about the flood from the air).

This is a bridge in the downtown of Győr. The surface of the river already reached it.


This is movable dam, a Hungarian innovation, which has been also used in Austria, and in Szentendre.


The animals of the zoos in Győr also have to move.


Hundreds of volunteers spend days and nights, helping in the threatened villages and cities.
