Hrensko flooded

The picturesque town of Hrensko - found on the Elbe River and Kamenice Brook in north Bohemia - has been almost completely flooded, and movement in the village is now possible only by raft or boat. Some twenty-three locals whose property remains well above the water levels have remained in their homes: the water there is not expected to rise further. The mayor of Hrensko has suggested that while the village had not been hit as badly as in flooding in 2002, the cost of repairs will be high.
