>**Due to the impact of the Genoa low “Boris”, a growingly difficult hydrological situation continues to develop across southern Poland, except for the region furthest east.**
>In Głuchołazy, in Poland’s southern region of Opole, the Biała Głuchołaska river reached a water height exceeding two meters above the alarm level. At night, a decision was made to evacuate residents from the most endangered flood areas – about 400 people. Due to the high level of the river, the local bridge on national road number 40 was also blocked.
>Residents were evacuated in the nearby town of Morów too, which is difficult to reach due to flooded roads. In the Nysa district of the Opole region, firefighters have intervened 260 times so far in connection with flooding and high river levels. In the whole country, by six in the morning, there were 1,300 such interventions – and their number only increased during the day.
>Further west in the south of Poland, the Karkonosze National Park appeals for caution and forgoing trips to dangerous places. The park published a video on social media showing the swollen waters of the Szklarki waterfall – a place popular among tourists. The mountain resort of Szklarska Poręba in the region has been closed off for the tourists, with passenger trains suspended.

>Warnings for the highest, third degree downpours, are still in force across southern Poland – from the southwestern region of Lower Silesia through the Opole region bordering it from the east, as well as further eastwards along the country’s southern border – in Małopolska and Silesia regions. Warnings issued in all these regions will be in force until Monday.
>According to Poland’s Institute of Meteorology and Water Management IMGW forecasts, the weather situation is expected to stabilize with the weekend’s end, but the high water level in the rivers may persist longer.
>On Saturday – according to the forecast – rainfall will occur across the south of the country, bar the regions furthest east, with periods of strong intensity and temporarily torrential. Storms may occur as well – and the periods of rain, although less intense, are likely to be experienced across the country.
>By 1:00 PM, 53 water gauges in Poland’s rivers had reached the alarm level. This mainly concerns the regions of Lower Silesia and Opole. Meanwhile, the warning level has been reached at over 120 measuring stations.

Yet some people in Poland still deny climate change. Even Polish president used to question that.
As a resident of Głuchołazy, I can only say this:
“Why won’t anyone pay attention to us?”
“Okay, here you go.”
“No, not like that, ja pierdolę kurwa mać.”
Seriously though, we’re fucked over here.
Hope folks are okay and any damage is minimum.
All the best and good luck!
To quote the legendary artist Walaszek:
“It’s still unknown how the flood got into the floodplains. Scientists suspect ozone depletion as the primary cause. The church has not yet made a statement. But unofficially, everybody knows: it’s Tusk’s fault.”
Oh man! Poor Polish people. I hope you won’t have any deaths
