Kronen Zeitung: Rising Waters Cause Alarm in Austria
Residents across Austria are facing a nerve-wracking night as heavy rainfall threatens to overwhelm flood defenses. Marvin, a 23-year-old local, reported, “I’ve never seen such high water levels. It’s frightening.” Emergency crews are working tirelessly to build flood barriers while the community braces for the worst. Recent reports indicate that the Gschinzbach has already overflowed its banks, prompting rescue efforts via helicopter for stranded individuals.
