While rivers in the Czech-Polish border area were starting to recede on Monday, flooding was widening to more parts and leaving bigger cities in both countries on alert
More rivers in central Europe spilled their banks on Monday in flooding that has killed at least 10 people from Poland to Romania and left many towns submerged or hit by gushing, debris-filled waters after days of heavy rainfalls.
Flooded parts of northeastern Czech regional capital Ostrava forced closures of a power plant supplying heat and hot water to the city as well as two chemical plants. In Romania, the flooding killed six people over the weekend, and an Austrian firefighter died on Sunday. A man drowned in Poland on Sunday. Infrastructure Minister Dariusz Klimczak said he had information on a second death, which Reuters could not immediately verify.
