But there were signs of the flooding we have been suffering from.

Usually the river is not even visible from the gardens and paddocks. :(
But it was pretty "harmless" to the dramatic damages in other regions.

Lots of rain and lots of water still to come down all of the large and long Central European rivers whether that is the to the Black Sea via the Danube from Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Romania etc.), the North Sea (from the Czech Republic) or to the Baltic via Poland.

Anyway, it's currently our turn in England with getting months worth of rain and flooding although it is not in the same league as yours...
 
Beautiful pictures.
Love the ground squirrels
As we live high up in the Yorkshire Wolds we’re often in the clouds.
Today we’ve been in a rain cloud all day.
York floods easily because it’s so low lying
 
I hope that you won't see any flooding.

The flooding we have had at the end of last week is said to be the worst flooding in the last 300 years or longer. We certainly don't need a catastrophe like this again soon.
In Austria, there are some places that are destined to see more flooding than other areas and of course thunderstorms in the mountains can have horrendous effects but this non stop rain for four or five days with between two and five times the amount of rain usually seen in the month of September was more than any safety systems could take. We were really lucky in Vienna. Just a little bit more rain and we would have been in a lot of trouble.

I'm still impressed by my vacation planning skills - I was there from the first to the very last day of this horrid storm. Then I went home :roll:

Your country is beautiful regardless. I hope to go back to Vienna soon to see some of the palace gardens and nature overall, we were mainly stuck inside museums this time around.

Nature can be cruel and scary, let's hope we recover soon and that this will be a one-off for many years to come.

I hope that you will have better weather when you come to Vienna next time.
