  1. Thousands of residents in a Polish city have been ordered to evacuate as floods triggered by Storm Boris continue to wreak havoc across central Europe.

    The mayor of Nysa, Kordian Kolbiarz, issued the evacuation order on Monday, urging all 44,000 residents to seek higher ground due to the risk of a nearby embankment breaching.

  2. Keep in mind that the army, civilians and fire fighters aided with helicopters are working to reinforce the floodbank in two places. They were working all night and managed to reinforce one section, however there is another potential weak point.

  3. Storm Boris swept through here a few years ago causing tremendous destruction and aggravation before buggering off and leaving the rest of us to clear up the mess. It’s still a mess now. Good luck, Poland.

  4. Is there any way to help out Poland, Czech besides donations ?

    Like unksilled volunteers sort of way ?
