we normally don't have tornados here in Austria, but it's flooding season right now ... it seems those get more frequent and more severe recently. Today was the worst flooding I have ever experienced, even beating a massive one in 2002 which was huge enough to be called "flood of the century" by the media. We were very close to evacuation today (in fact, some of our neighbors packed their stuff and drove away pretty early in the morning), but it seems we have made it through the worst now. We had to pump out our cellar all day (the water was 2 metres high at some point), the shack in the garden is damaged and there has been water in some rooms, but basically, we got off cheaply. In my home province alone there have been 3 confirmed deaths today.
This is what our garden usually looks like (well, minus the hail ^^)
today, it looked like this:
my home town:
stupid weather!
