PRAGUE (AP) — A raging flood wave that inundated parts of Prague is now heading north toward Germany, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people and leading to concerns about the safety of chemical plants.

More than 19,000 people have been evacuated from the flooding that has affected half of the Czech Republic, said firefighters spokeswoman Nicole Zaoralova.

Some 3,000 people had to leave their homes in Usti nad Labem on the Elbe river near the German border where the waters were still on the rise Wednesday. High waters have already submerged parts of the city as well many other towns along the Elbe, the biggest river in the country.

The flood wave will hit my country this weekend.
It shouldn’t be so bad because the flood wave loses strength as it floods areas on its way here, but on the other hand, it’s raining again. Hallelujah. At least you know it’s coming so there’s time for people in lower areas to take everything upstairs.
I’m worried for farmers, a flood can destroy everything they have and people can’t afford insurance for their crops. They are essentially playing weather roulette.
