The Danube is attacking, fortunately the city has good protection. It is increasing, it need one metre to the total flood, but it will not go up, it't maximum will be tomorrow.

Now sand-sacks protect the subway, because the water come up by te electric and telecommunication cables' channels, the pumps are working there, and the rats are escaping..

I will take more photos tomorrow. If I look good this signal board, there is 1.5 metre deep water on the down road. That wharf roads are under water every flood waves and the traffic is horrible..
