Banjir Paling Besar di Eropa (42 PIC)

Over the past month,
heavy rainfall from different storms across parts of Europe has caused
massive amounts of flooding - some water moving slowly across river
plains and farmland, some moving swiftly through cities and villages.
Dozens have lost their lives, many thousands evacuated their homes, some
repeatedly - Poland in particular is suffering its worst flooding in
decades. More recently, parts of Spain and France have experienced flash
floods that have carried away people and vehicles. Collected here are
some images of the flooding in Europe from the past several weeks. (42

days of heavy rainfall hit parts of central Europe, disrupting power
supplies and forcing thousands of people from their homes. Southern
Poland, parts of the Czech Republic and Slovakia and northern Hungary
were among the worst affected regions. (REUTERS/Krzysztof Koch/Agencja
