Torrential rain brings on local floods

Torrential rain which hit the Czech Republic late on Friday afternoon caused local flooding in many parts of the country. Some smaller roads were impassable and a passenger train got de-railed due to a mud-slide onto the tracks. No one was reported injured. Firefighters were out all night pumping water from gardens and cellars. And in many parts of the country volunteers are spending their weekend helping with the clean-up operation.
