Flooding in Tarnobrzeg and Sandomierz (where I spent much of my time in Poland)…



Pietaka street in the photo directly above is where I had stayed part of my time in Poland.

Absolutely devastating…

Here are the rest of the photos and here is an iReport on the flooding

UPDATE MAY 24, 2010:

 

A 49-year-old man from Tarnobrzeg, south-east Poland, is the latest victim of the floods, which have left thousands homeless and others without electricity.

The man’s body was fished out of the water on Sunday evening after being spotted by another resident of the Dzikow district of Tarnobrzeg, who was patrolling the housing estate in a boat.

The man is the second in the Podkarpacie region to die from the floods. Last Thursday, a 59-year-old man drowned in his house after the floods hit Tarnobrzeg.

 

Still more death and destruction from the Vistula.
