Flood Continues
Comments(0) 
The Wisła is finally beginning to go down, but basements the city is still partially paralysed by unacceptably high levels of water. At least three people have drowned in the last 48 hours, the Auschwitz museum site is threatened, and farms in villages near Kraków and throughout Małopolska (Lesser Poland) are flooded to varying degrees. Water in the Wisła is 3 meters higher than the “state of emergency” levels. How long has it been raining now? A week? Two? Six months? I can’t remember. One roundabout (Grunwaldskie) near the hostel has police directing traffic, as the tunnels that pedestrians cross under have flooded. A major bridge (Most Dębnicki) has been closed, so traffic in the city is mayhem. Despite the apocalyptic tone of the Polish press (the press loves a good apocalypse) there is no cause for panic, but the flooding is definitely causing major problems. Take a look at some photos here, and try to stay dry.
