Standing in his home in southern Poland, dark Kyrgystan
points to damage caused by severe rain and flooding.
He says he and his 16 year old son have
no place to live. There is nothing left.
He said tiles are destroyed, floors are destroyed,
walls are overturned. A nearby dam burst on Sunday
, submerging the historic Polish Spa Town as well as
nearby towns and villages. Border areas between the Czech
Republic and Poland were hit hard over the weekend,
heavy rain and surging water levels have forced evacuations and
left a trail of destruction as well as a rising
number of deaths. It's the worst flooding in over
two decades. Kyrgystan said the rain started on Friday
in his town, the dam breached on Sunday and
then the water started rising in his home. His
son shaman says his room no longer exists. The
losses are unimaginable for the city. All the bridges
are broken, asphalt is coming off. The town
doesn't have the funds to repair it. The city
looks like an apocalypse. I would call it a
ghost town said he has experienced three floods in his
life including the significant 1997 event referred to as the
flood of the century. But this, he said
has been the worst.
