12.8.2002 - 18.8.2002


More than 100.000 people ran away, more than 10.000 lost everything and some people died.

But whose fault was it? The answer is simple: a huge depression which came from north Italy brought heavy rainfalls.

The level of the river Elbe rose to 9,40 m, the normal level is 1,65m.

The whole damage is up to 1.152.000.000 (1.1 billion) euro.(1.302.000.000 $).
