We have heavy rain for over 48 hours straight now, which caused massive floods all over the country. Three people lost their lives so far... At home the situation is less catastrophic but still serious. Our back yard is flooded so we had to move pigs and chickens away from the water. Here are few pictures of our flooded back yard and garden and few neighboring gardens. These were taken today around noon, but there is a much more water now as the water level rises by the hour. The main problem is an old irrigation canal which runs next to our property and which has flooded due to heavy rains. Weather broadcast announces still at least 12 continuous hours of heavy rain so we'll see what tomorrow brings. Temperature is around 10-15C.

Thanks for asking Wojtek.
Well, fallowing the news today I see it's chaos all around the country - three people dead, two missing, over 500 evacuated (some by helicopters), many completely cut off by floods, over 100.000 people without electricity. Nationwide state of emergency declared by the government and plead sent to EU and Russia for help. First Russian Il-76 with help is to land at Nish tonight as it was reported...
It appears that the worst situation is in central Serbia and south of Belgrade. Here in our town (some 30km north of Belgrade) we are largerly spared of the worst. Me and my family are fine. The situation thankfully isn't life threatening, but it is serious as the underground waters are rising and canals are flooding. We already had to move our animals, lets hope it'll remain on that. Will post tomorrow with update on the situation.

Here's an official report with some pictures that can be found on the net...
Storm floods Balkans, Serbia declares emergency
A massive storm has dumped record rainfalls on the Balkans, causing severe flooding, especially in Serbia, and parts of Bosnia. Schools have been closed in Serbia, where several people have drowned. Croatia is on alert.
Serbian declared a nationwide flood emergency on Thursday and asked the EU and Russia for help. Entire towns were cut off. The slow-moving cyclone is forecast to persist until the weekend.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said his country was facing its "biggest water catastrophe in Serbia's history."
Meteorologists forecast that more than double Serbia's average rainfall for the whole of May was expected to fall within just two-and-a-half days until Friday noon.
Across Serbia, 100,000 households were without electricity. Dozens of cars and buses were stranded along flooded roads.
Schools in the Serbian capital were closed for Thursday and Friday. Major traffic routes, such as the E-75 Belgrade-Skopje highway, were submerged. Serbia's rail link to Montenegro was severed.
Waters are rising everywhere," said Serbian emergency official Predrag Maric. "We have engaged all our manpower."
At least three people were killed in Serbia, including a resident near Belgrade whom firefighters said had drowned after she refused to be evacuated.
Serbian media said at least two more people had been reported missing.
High-profile societ and basketball sporting events were postponed.
Storm also grips Bosnia, Croatia
In Bosnia, to the west, bridges were swept away by swollen rivers. The central Bosnian town of Topcic Polje, near Zenica, was bisected by landslides and raging waters (pictured).
Some residents of Maglaj, 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Bosnia's capital, sat on roofs.
Its mayor Mehmed Mustabasic said the town was "cut off from the rest of the world."
"We have no electricity; the phones are not working," he said.
The Sarajevo government ordered the deployment of army helicopters for evacuations. EU troops in Bosnia joined rescue efforts.
Croatia also affected
High winds reaching 150 kilometers per hour forced the closure of sections of Croatia's Adriatic coastal highway.
Thousands of Croatian households have also been without power since Wednesday.
Croatia's meteorological service issued a "red alert," saying winds were powerful enough to carry debris at deadly speed.
Slovenia was also on alert because of predicted high winds.
The storm, a slow-moving cyclone, bringing sharp drops in temperature, is expected to drift to the east over the Balkans and then south to the eastern Mediterranean by the weekend.

Update on the situation... It's catastrophic in many parts of our country, can't find any other word. It's especially critical around the Sava river, where almost entire town of Obrenovac had to be evacuated and most threatened are now Šabac and Sremska Mitrovica. There are casualties.
Back at the home front, we're continuing to be spared from the worst, but it's still raining and the water level steadily rising. Our entire back yard and garden are now flooded and the water line reached 2-3 meters from our house doors. We got some sand bags to try to protect the shed into which we moved our animals (pigs and chickens) as the water reached this too. Here are few pictures taken yesterday...

Sunny with a high of 104 F.
I'll go as far as saying it has been so warm and sunny (24 degrees) today in Coventry that I was left with no choice other than to have a BBQ and consume that much cider that it has taken me 20 minutes to write this post. Enjoy people.
Cheers Chris

The rain finally stopped and here at home the floodwater is receding. So, we're out of the woods so to speak. However, elsewhere in Serbia situation is still very serious. I wont be posting pictures as these can be found on the net. Here's just one map showing the flooded areas in Serbia and the region to appreciate the scale of the disaster.
