Warsaw has been hit today by the crest of flooded Vistula River, after days of floods in Southern Poland which have already claimed at least 10 lives.
Up to 25,000 people elsewhere in Poland have been evacuated from their homes and thousands of acres of farmland swamped. It's the biggest flood in our country for tens of years.
The wave, caused by days of heavy rain, may reach up to eight metres above emergency levels tonight, say local authorities.
They warn residents that the river dykes are weak in several places and may not hold it.
At the moment in Warsaw the river is rising 20-30 cm per hour and is the highest in 160 years.
This place on the photo usually is a path to the bank of Wisla river (where the trees are in the farest bg), now all flooded.
