IF you want the original you have to go there quickly as the FEN service tends to take stuff down quickly, but they have had serious flooding in Bulgaria, Romania and other Balkans nations pretty much since July. In some areas the water has been made un-drinkable. They a lot of snow in the winter, so flooding wasn't exactly unforeseeable. It's very hard on the governments of these small countries when that hapens.

Comments:
Yes, but these small countries get also small publicity, although s flood is a flood wherever you live, and whoever you are...
 
true on both counts. I did notice the way people build is meant to help prevent problems in the event of flooding.
