OREANDA-NEWS The powerful storm Boris, which covered the countries of Europe, took the lives of two more people. The Guardian writes about the consequences of the rampant elements.

The total number of victims of the bad weather that raged in Europe has increased to eight: six in Austria, one in Poland and one in Austria. The storm claimed the lives of residents of Austria, Poland and Romania. Four more are missing in the Czech Republic.

Storm Boris has been raging in central and eastern Europe since September 12. Due to heavy rains, several rivers are at risk of overflowing their banks and flooding neighboring settlements. The water level in the Vienna River in Austria and the Biala River in Poland has reached a dangerous level. The Polish town of Klodzko was partially under water — the water level in the local river exceeded the record in 1997, when a flood claimed the lives of 56 people. Flooding threatens the village of Golkovice on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic. The Danube can also update the record: the water in it is approaching the mark of 8.91 meters, the Hungarian authorities are concerned.

Several highways have been blocked in Poland, and train traffic between the cities of Prudnik and Nysa has also been suspended. Rail service is also limited in Austria, and several metro lines are closed in Vienna. Lower Austria, which was in the grip of severe flooding, was declared a disaster zone — 5,000 rescue operations were carried out in the province last night. In the most affected region of Romania, the city of Galac, 5,000 houses were damaged. A state of emergency has been declared in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. About a meter of snow fell in Tyrol after a 30-degree heat wave last week.
