Is this just a fluke or could it be another side effect of Global Warming?
Up to 7,000 people have been evacuated from different villiages and towns along the Danube River in Eastern Europe (see photo to the right).
I have two employees, where I work, who come from this area of the world so I try to keep up with what is going on over there.
It seems almost too much rain at one time has made the Danube River, which is Europe's 2nd largest flowing body of water, flood it's banks in many areas of Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia.
I have not heard of any deaths as of yet, but there surly must be lots of displaced people across this very populous (and poor) region of the world. I feel so bad for these people.
It is raining here in SE Wisconsin right now and that just makes what is happening over in Europe a little more real for me to imagine what they are going through but in actuality, I can not even begin to fathom what these people are going through and I honestly hope I never have to.
CNN has an interesting article that talks about the torrential rains that have caused all the flooding in that region of the world.
