Flooding in Europe
The Danube River
reached its highest level in 500 years. The Elbe, Rhine, and other
rivers and tributaries are cresting high as well as swathes of central
Europe lie inundated by floodwaters that have killed 12 and displaced
tens of thousands. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech
Republic have been severely affected, as Hungary prepares for the swell
of water. Gathered here are images of the flooding and people affected
in the last several days. -- Lane Turner (40 photos total)
