Title: Floods on Balkan taking lives and homes away
Post by: Jenny_Adams on May 18, 2014, 09:29:18 pm

Not sure if some of you have heard the news or not, but it's something to be mentioned. I myself am living in a country that's currently flooded but fortunately I'm not affected. 
Neverthless, Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia have been hit by severe floods the last few days, taking at least 20 lives. Croatia has sent 2 army helicopters to help in rescue missions in Bosnia while we are trying to help ourselves the best way possible, yet it's not enough to overcome the Mother Nature.
Also, many countries, including Russia, Slovenia and Austria decided to help out by sending their boats, supplies, manpower etc.
Anyway, I won't babble much here but here's some media.

at least 20 lives

More than 100, media won't talk about it because it may cause panic.

To those who lost their lives in the floods, RIP..

Pretty much, people from my city that gone there to help others say that there are many floating bodies.

I wish the biggest strength to everyone that's affected. Some packages have been sent in aid from Belgium as well...

Thats so sad , as my best community friends are serbs , and they are in the places , where this flooding is the biggest. I hope they`re alright and safe. Thats so horrible , when you see the power of nature.

More than 100 lifes? More than 1200 lifes were taken away but no one wants to say that in the newspapers or on the TV. Obrenovac, a city in Serbia has became "the ghost town" since water destroyed everything.

Also it's a shame that there are some random retarded topics that contains shitloads of stupid replies, and this one only a few.

Source(s)? Some random portals in Serbia posted some similar informations which were total bullshit. (Such "support" message on Twitter that was posted on the fake profile of CR7.)
