Thousands evacuated in Czech Republic amid severe floods
Briefly

In the Czech Republic, more than 260,000 households woke up on Sunday morning without power, with the most eastern region of Moravian-Silesia enduring the worst power-cut, affecting 114,000 customers.
We won't know the extent of the damage until daylight, but there are no reports of injuries or casualties,” said city spokesperson Dita Círová, indicating a cautiously optimistic response amid the chaos.
Strong winds caused trees and branches to fall onto power lines downing several utility poles, contributing to the widespread power outages and disruption across multiple regions.
According to local media, firefighters have responded to nearly 6,000 incidents in the last three days, severely impacting road and rail transportation, with about 40 sections of railway tracks closed due to flooding.
