Flood scare in North Moravia, rivers abating

Fire-fighters in the east of the Czech Republic were called out nearly two dozen times Wednesday night as rains flooded cellars around the region of Moravo-Silesia. River levels abated over the course of Thursday and there is no imminent risk of further flooding. Heavy flooding at the end of June in northern and central Moravia caused 14 deaths, hundreds of evacuations and more than 6 billion crowns in damages.
