Firefighters and volunteers build a wall of sand bags to stop flood water of the Opava river on September 15, 2024 in the village of Horni Hostice, Czech Republic. One person has drowned in Poland and an Austrian fireman has died responding to floods, authorities said, as Storm Boris lashed central and eastern Europe with torrential rains.
The situation was most dramatic in the eastern part of the Moravian-Silesian region on the border with Poland. There alone, more than 100,000 households had no power. Rains had softened the soil, causing numerous trees to fall on overhead power lines and high-voltage lines. Forecasters expect the rainfall to continue until Monday.
There were significant rail traffic disruptions as trees fell onto tracks and overflowing waterways flooded sections of track. Around 40 railway lines had to be completely closed. At Studénka station, the important main line between Prague and Ostrava, was submerged. As a result, numerous Eurocity connections towards Poland and Slovakia were cancelled. Authorities urged citizens to avoid travelling by car or train wherever possible.
