The floods in Central Europe in 2010 were a series of flooding events in Central Europe caused by heavy rainfall in a low pressure area that was named Yolanda in Germany (see naming for Atlantic storm lows ), which formed on May 14 over North Africa and then over the Mediterranean pulled. The center of this system then remained stationary over the Ukraine for a few days before shifting northwest.

Squalls in connection with heavy rain as well as continuous rain led widespread in parts of Austria, in Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary to strong floods or storm damage; Bulgaria and Serbia also affected areas on the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine. At least 29 people were killed as a result of the impact.

The regions mainly affected were northern Moravia and Silesia in the Czech Republic, Silesia in Poland, and eastern Slovakia and northern Hungary. The east of Austria was also affected by storms. These regions are drained to the Black Sea via March , Ipeľ and Tisza, further into the Danube and to the Baltic Sea via the Vistula and Oder - which is why parts of Brandenburg in Germany were also affected by the floods .

Rainfall

The floods in Central Europe were triggered by extreme rainfall. In the region of Vistula and Oder, significantly more than a hundred liters of rain per square meter fell locally from Sunday night to Tuesday morning, said meteorologist Bernd Zeuschner from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach.

Bielsko-Biała in Poland reported 286 liters per square meter and Lysá hora in the Czech Republic 279 liters per square meter - on the highest mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids , over 50 cm of fresh snow fell between May 16 and 19. There was more than 100 liters of rain per square meter across the country. For comparison: The average amount of rain in May for Germany is 71 liters per square meter.

Lower Austria , which mainly had to struggle with the heavy rain, received up to three times as much precipitation in places as the average throughout May.

On May 22nd, 2010, level 1 flood alarm was triggered in Brandenburg. The peak of the flood was for the 26./27. May expected. On May 28, 2010 in the Lower Oder Valley near Schwedt / Oder the wet polders 10 and A / B, which otherwise only flooded in winter, were flooded to relieve the localities on the Polish bank of the Oder with great media interest after the local farmers had cleared the areas.

Croatia

At the beginning of June there was high rainfall and water levels in Croatia . Eastern Croatia around the towns of Slavonski Brod and Vinkovci was particularly hard hit . 90% of the agricultural land was flooded, so that by June 4, damage was estimated at 140 million euros.

Austria

The weather conditions in eastern Austria, both in terms of precipitation and wind, corresponded to a ten-year event. In addition, there was a temperature drop across Austria to around 11 degrees.

In Vienna alone, precipitation of 110 l / m² was measured between May 13th and 16th. However, 52 l / m² of this was already measured within an hour on May 13th, which corresponds to a 50-year value. (Statistical rainfall, like only every 50 years)

On the Hohen Veitsch , storms with a peak value of 170 km / h were measured , in Rechnitz in Burgenland in the lowlands of 118 km / h.

Due to the heavy rain in Vienna, floods occurred in the evening on Thursday, which was a public holiday, because the sewer network could not absorb the water. Around 20,000 households were without electricity, because the power supply failed in part due to water entering the transformer stations and in some cases had to be switched off in a targeted manner in order to enable the fire brigade to pump out the basement safely. Between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. alone, the Viennese fire brigade had to deploy 250 times. The focal points of the flood events were Ottakring , Mariahilf , Neubau , Hietzing and Penzing . The subway line 3 also had to cease operations until late at night because the water penetrated the Westbahnhof construction site.

The storms mainly affected eastern Austria all weekend. The broken tree was not as strong as in the previous year's hurricane storms like Emma or Paula. Nevertheless, traffic connections in particular were repeatedly affected by tree breakage. For example, the Semmering Railway had to be closed during the night on May 17th due to broken trees. However, the storm indirectly claimed a fatality while cleaning up after a tree break, as a firefighter came under a vehicle and suffered such serious injuries that he died at the scene of the accident.

On May 17th, the Gänserndorf district administration had to give a flood alarm for the March , as larger amounts of water were to be expected from the Czech Republic. As is customary in such events, the border crossings into Slovakia that cross the March were closed. It was assured, however, that the flood protection structures should provide sufficient protection for the population. A HQ 1 to HQ 5 was expected

On May 19, the levels fell again, as there is also less inflow from Moravia. At Hohenau an der March the level at noon was 5.29 meters.

Heavy rain led to numerous floods and mudslides , especially in the Mistelbach district around the Buschberg . Many cellars were flooded a second time within the week.

While in the other countries there was mainly water leakage from large rivers, the flood events occurred more frequently, especially from smaller feeders in various places. The Korneuburg district was hit on May 25 . It was particularly strong on May 26th in the Bucklige Welt in the south of Lower Austria and in the neighboring Burgenland. A hailstorm and heavy rain lasting only 40 minutes turned small streams in the valleys into flash floods. So you stood in Karl verge of evacuating the place where the reservoirs threatened to burst. In the Wiener Neustadt-Land district, there were two deaths in connection with the flood. The situation of the emergency services was also tense, as a tornado occurred at the same time in the Tulln district and Klosterneuburg . The tornado with about 120 km / h classified as weak by meteorologists nevertheless caused great damage. Similar areas, namely the Central Burgenland and the Bucklige Welt, were affected again the next day on May 27th. Hail, in particular, destroyed numerous roofs again. In Burgenland alone, around 18 communities were affected, where around 250 fire brigade members were on duty. But also in Kirchschlag houses were again screwed up and bridges torn away. While Rotten in the south of Lower Austria were still cut off from the outside world on May 28, this time strong thunderstorms fell in the Horn district , so that a dam that broke once in the previous year could only be held by 300 fire fighters . On Sunday, May 30th, heavy local precipitation fell again, this time affecting the Korneuburg district and the area around Klosterneuburg, but also causing further small-scale flooding in the Vienna Woods area and also in Upper Austria.

After the heavy rain predicted on June 2nd hit all of Austria, the levels in western Austria also rose. So the Inn in Schärding overflowed its banks. The mobile flood protection system that was set up last week has been further increased along the entire Danube in Austria. After it rained up to 90 l / m² in 24 hours in Salzburg , the whole of the federal state was affected by mudslides and flash floods in addition to the Lungau, making the deployment of 1,000 firefighters necessary. In Linz , the Linz Eye , a rotating pontoon in the Danube, was torn from its anchorage and sank.

Poland

In Poland, the voivodships in the south of the country were particularly affected by the continuous rain . The floods began on May 15, 2010, mainly on the Oder and Vistula , but other rivers also overflowed their banks. Most of Sandomierz was flooded. The floods then gradually reached other parts of the country via the Oder and Vistula. A state of emergency was declared in Krakow .

On May 18, the floods of the Vistula forced the closure of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum , where exhibits were brought to safety. Parts of the site were affected because the camp barracks and paths were washed away by water. Helpers built a protective wall to prevent the camp grounds from being flooded. On May 20, 2010 the museum was partially reopened.

Dike breaches caused flooding in various places. In Breslau ( Wrocław ) a dike broke in two places and caused the flooding of the Kozanów district , which was particularly badly affected by the 1997 flood of the Oder .

On May 23, 2010 a dike broke on the Vistula near Płock over a length of about 200 meters. The flood flowing through the gap inundated 23 localities and around 8,000 hectares of land were flooded  .

At the beginning of June a second flood wave formed. On the night of June 6, 2010, a dike broke near Sandomierz . A dike also broke near Słupiec and the Vistula flooded a dike near Zastów Polanowski . The emergency services managed to protect the glassworks in Sandomierz from the flooding. On June 7, 2010, a dike broke near Annopol .

Serbia

A flood in Serbia also claimed deaths. Two people drowned in Trgovište in southern Serbia . Large areas of this region were cut off from the drinking water and electricity supply.

Slovakia

In Slovakia, too, floods occurred all over the country. Both in the east and south of the country, rivers reached the highest flood warning level.

In Kuzmice in eastern Slovakia 150 residents had to be evacuated. A dam broke near Trebišov , so that the floods cut off individual villages from the environment and threatened others.

The west of the country was also affected. On May 16, 2010, a fatality was found who had drowned in a flood-bearing stream near Nitrianske Sučany . The border crossings across the March to Austria were closed. In addition to the heavy rains, stormy winds increased the extreme weather conditions. The train traffic was interrupted by washouts or fallen trees in several places, such as between the places Šelpice and Boleráz .

On May 18, the army provided additional men and facilities to support the victims. To improve organization, three centers were set up: in Sereď in western Slovakia, Martin in northern Slovakia and in Trebišov in eastern Slovakia.

On Wednesday, May 19, the water levels fell partially, as in Košice . The retention spaces, which had been filled to the maximum of the retention volumes, were slowly emptied again. The situation in Spišská Nová Ves was still critical . By then there was also another fatality. In the east, too, the water levels around Trebišov fell again when no heavy rains were expected.

The floods continued to threaten eastern Slovakia in particular . In Nitriansky kraj , too , there was a risk of dam breaks that were already sodden. The third flood warning level already applied to two thirds of Slovakia on June 2. In the west there were problems especially in the municipality of Hul near Šurany , on the Žitava river , in Záhorie and in the area of Považská Bystrica and Žilina ; in the east the communities Jarovnice and Svinia were hit again. The rivers Bodrog , Latorica and Ondava , where a dam broke during May floods, also threatened the landscape. The border crossing between Slovenské Nové Mesto - Sátoraljaújhely was closed due to flooding.

The municipality of Nižná Myš Gemeindea near Košice was hit twice by the storm on June 3rd and 4th; the lower part was flooded by the Hornád on Thursday and a landslide damaged 50 houses, 20 of them difficult and according to the mayor's statement, around 200 people were "homeless". Several municipalities were also affected throughout the Okres Košice-okolie .

In the Spiš , the Poprad, Kežmarok, Stará Ľubovňa districts were affected by the floods. The Poprad River and some of its tributaries flooded the cities of Kežmarok , Podolínec , Stará Ľubovňa and the municipalities of Ľubica and Nová Ľubovňa on June 4th; some bridges were destroyed, such as at Jurské or Sulín . The Topľa river flooded the city of Bardejov .

On Saturday, June 5th, traffic on the Košice – Žilina railway was suspended due to flooding near Kysak and Kostoľany nad Hornádom , but could be resumed in the evening. The day before, express train operations had to be stopped due to a landslide near Krompachy . Other railway lines affected are Plaveč – Stará Ľubovňa , Bardejov - Klušov , Fiľakovo - Hungary, Spišské Vlachy - Spišské Podhradie and Čata - Šahy . The highway between Prešov and Košice was also closed due to undermining. The city of Košice was again threatened by the Hornád river . A limited power supply was the result, as numerous facilities such as transformer stations were flooded. However, on Saturday afternoon the level sank again. After June 5th, however, there were no more floods; only the lower reaches of the Ondava were flooded.

The flood events also had an impact on the parliamentary elections on June 12, 2010 . Most parties have suspended or restricted their election campaigns and sent aid to the affected areas. The government promised emergency aid of 25 million euros on Friday, and the European Union also promised help when the damage to the infrastructure exceeded 350 million euros. The first loss estimates ranged from 33–90 million euros. It was also found that one-sixth of the agricultural area was flooded or marshy. On July 16, the damage was estimated at 695.1 million euros. On the same day the government asked the European Union for help.

In retrospect, the damage in Slovakia was put at 560 million euros. In 2011, the EU pledged EUR 20 million for this damage from the European Parliament .

Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic, especially the east of the country with Zlínský kraj and Moravskoslezský kraj had been within a bad weather area for several days before the onset of heavy continuous rain, which is why the soil was already well moistened. The rain that fell from Friday, May 14th to Tuesday, May 18th, caused watercourses and rainwater retention basins to swell. Especially the smaller watercourses overflowed their banks. Flood level III (endangerment) has been declared for the Morava and Oder as well as several bodies of water in their catchment areas - including Bečva , Jičínka , Lubina , Ostravice , Olše , Petruvka .

In the March catchment area, the flood reached its highest level on the Rožnovská Bečva in Valašské Meziříčí . The Česky hydrometeorologický ústav recorded a water level of 444 cm and a discharge rate of 361 m³ / s on May 17th at 8:00 am (the annual average here is 101 cm and the average discharge rate is 3.5 m³ / s), further down the river Bečva was recorded on the same day between 14:00 and 15:00 at the gauge in Teplice nad Bečvou, a water level of 641 cm and a discharge rate of 793 m³ / s, the annual averages are 109 cm and 15.3 m³ / s. At this point, as in 1997, the lower floors of the spa facilities were flooded. The March culminated in Strážnice on the afternoon of May 19th with a water level of 700 cm and a flow of 713 m³ / s; the average values ​​at this point are 210 cm for the water level and 59.6 m³ / s; for the annual runoff. The river's historic high of 754 cm on July 14, 1997 has not yet been reached here. In the March catchment area, the discharge volumes recorded at the Czech gauges are in the context of a 50-year flood.

Extreme water levels were also recorded in the Oder catchment area. The Ostravice reached its highest level in Ostrava on May 18th at 6:00 pm with 500 cm, which corresponds to a flow rate of 595 m³ / s; the long-term average water level here is 129 cm, the discharge rate 15.5 m³ / s. The Oder culminated in Bohumín on May 17th at 5:00 pm with a water level of 669 cm and a discharge rate of 1060 m³ / s. In the long-term average, the Oder has a level of 189 cm with a discharge rate of 48.2 m³ / s. At the height of the floods in Český Těšín , the Olše reached a water level of 543 cm with a discharge rate of 529 m³ / s on May 17 between 7:00 and 8:00. The average values ​​at this measuring point amount to a water level of 110 cm and a discharge rate of 7.15 m³ / s. On the Olše, the previous high of 530 cm, which was measured on September 8, 1996, was almost reached, except for one centimeter. Here the flow rate corresponded to a 50-year flood. On the Oder and Ostravice, the observed discharge volumes were below those of a flood with a 50-year return.

Numerous roads, including the D 1 motorway between Ostrava and Bohumín , were flooded and the city of Karviná was cut off from the outside world by floods.

The place Troubky , which the Bečva completely flooded during the flood in Moravia in 1997 , was flooded again. The floods of 2010 put the place up to 130 cm high under water. In 1997 nine people died in this place and more than 300 houses were destroyed. The residents criticize the fact that nothing has been done about flood protection since then. The dikes on the Bečva have not yet been renewed and no further retention basins have been built on the upper reaches of Rožnovská and Vsetínská Bečva . The flood polders promised by politicians were still missing . This also has an impact on the residents of the March who live in Lower Austria.

After the major damage, the Czech Parliament decided in the last session before the elections on May 27th to issue a special flood bond worth the equivalent of 40 million euros.

Hungary

In Hungary, the floods affected all parts of the country. A flood alarm was issued along the entire 770 km stretch of the Bodva , Hernád , Ipoly (Slovak: Ipeľ ), Sajó , Tarna and Zagyva rivers . Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai declared a state of emergency. According to the Hungarian civil protection service, 2,100 people in the south-east of the country had to be brought to safety from the masses of water. Numerous trees were also uprooted by the storms and hindered rail and road traffic, most of the rail traffic had to be stopped.

The south-west of Hungary, around Lake Balaton , was affected by the heavy rains and storms. Precipitation accounted for a quarter of the annual rainfall. Around 70 pieces of street were washed away or torn away. About 100,000 people were without electricity.

Major damage was also reported to the road network in Hungary. For example, the M1 motorway on the route between Győr and Komárom had to be closed from May 19 to 21, as bridge piers were eroded. The M7 also requires repairs, so that the road towards Balaton has to be closed for about two weeks. The national road administration even said that 70% of the roads had been flooded.

By May 18, the damage, with around 10,000 damage reports, was estimated at up to six billion forints (around 22 million euros). Since in some counties, such as Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén , Csongrád , Nógrád , but also in Komárom-Esztergom and Győr-Moson-Sopron , up to half of the agricultural areas are often flooded, significant harvest losses are also expected. Oilseed rape , maize and grain are particularly affected because the sowing was over and the seeds were either washed away or rotten.

The Tisza has also risen steadily , which on May 27th finally reached the highest flood warning level in Kisköre with a water level of 838 cm and thus rose by around 2 m within a week.

After further rains and the rise of the rivers, a state of emergency had to be declared on June 1st in the northeast Hungarian county of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén . 20 parishes could not be reached. Numerous railway lines in northeast Hungary had to be shut down but could only be partially replaced by buses. In Budapest the level of the Danube was only slightly above normal. Heavy rain and storms also affected the forest in the Mecsek and Zselic Mountains along the border with Croatia and caused great damage.
