We had an abundance of rain in the month of June. By months end, our river (the Jiu) could no longer hold it. The Jiu river flows into the Danube.
At 6am on June 26 our phones went off with emergency alerts to flooding in our area. Elli opened her bedroom window (which faces the river), to hear the roaring waters rushing by. Our home is about 10 houses from the river. Thanks be to God, our embankment is higher than some of the other areas of the river and we did not see any flooding on our street, some of the neighbors down river faced a lot of disastrous flooding.
