[EDIT] I LIIVEEE. Takes some cake MNON MNOM MNOM
Nothing serious happened. At least in my area. The river didn't pass the dams in my area, but some of them were damaged a little more down the stream. On the upper part of the stream, a few tens of kilometers away there were serious damages and some people died. Some people told me this morning they saw pigs and household items floating on the river.
I'm still a little alarmed though because upstream the river there is a barrage that's now overwhelmed by waters... and this is the main reason I was very frightened yesterday(well, today at 3 am :P).
I anyway went for a walk on the shore of the river, and took the camera with me. I'm now processing the video. I'll post it later. I wasn't amazed by how deep it looks now, but I was amazed when I saw a lot of bent and torn apart grass near the dams. Well, that means there really was a flood(we are lucky that we have tall dams especially for floods like this, but that's only in our village...).
I couldn't fell asleep. Something seemed wrong.
I went to the toilet. My toilet's window is facing the river(well, the river is at about 200-300 m I guess). I can hear it how furious it is( and our river is a fast type one, when it grows it's very dangerous).
Then I could hear a siren in the village. After that, at the emergency tower( yes we have loud emergency towers) I could hear a voice warning us of flood.
It should occur at 4 am.
Well, T-25 minutes :\.
I'm really frightened because people near the river are being evacuated. I anyway live in a block of apartments, but it still scares me. From what old people say, it's not something to joke with.
Well, I hope nothing bad happens... if something bad happens though, I hope I can save at least my computer tower. Or at least the Hard-Disks.

I hope you're ok.
Gl striker, don't forget your swimming trunks!
EDIT: Oh, wait. The top part is what happened after the flood, not between a minor one and a major one.
Good to see you're alive.
