The second '100 year flood' is upon us here in Prague. The last '100 year flood' was in 2002. In short, this is all do to climate change and over-development [paved surfaces can't absorb water]. The Vltava river [Moldau in German] is running at 4000 m2/sec. In 2002 it was at 5000. However, it is still rising, but the rains have subsided....Everyone holds their breath. Aluminum barriers are erected at the low parts of the river's embankment. Ten are dead. 4.000 homeless and many buildings have experienced severe damage. It's not over yet. In 2002, I lost all I owned here - got not a penny compensation. This year, I live high on a hill...learning my lesson. However, humans have not learned theirs...that we have done and are continuing to do irreparable damage to our Planet and all on it.
