Rising waters from the Danube and other rivers have inundated parts of Germany, including Grimma in Saxony (above), Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic after days of heavy rainfall. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated as the worst floods in a decade continue to cause chaos throughout central Europe. At least 15 people have died. A raging flood in the Elbe river that earlier inundated parts of Prague (its Vltava river is a tributary of the Elbe) was heading north, threatening Dresden, whose center was only recently restored after the last flood.
