Bradbury in the Balkans

Globe didn't revere this story much so why should I?

"Heavy rainfall causes floods in Bosnia, Serbia" Associated Press Writer   August 07, 2014

DONJI HRGOVI, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Heavy rainfall caused rivers to burst their banks Wednesday, killing one person and flooding houses and roads in the same areas of the Balkans that were devastated in May by the worst floods in 120 years. 

Some of it was record snowmelt, but that conflicts with the global-warming, carbon-tax, narrative and agenda.

A 65-year-old man drowned late Tuesday after rushing waters flooded his home in the town of Banja Koviljaca in western Serbia, and in Banja Luka, Bosnia, a car was swept away by the water and the driver is missing.

Bosnian authorities declared a state of emergency as rescuers rushed to the central and northern parts of the country to evacuate people, many for the second time this year. In the northern village of Donji Hrgovi, homes were flooded within a few minutes overnight. Residents escaped before the roads and bridges became unpassable.

In nearby Gracanica, Senisa Isinovic said the water came suddenly during the night and quickly flooded the lower level of her house.

‘‘We got up. We tried to save things, but the kitchen was gone — all of it,’’ she said.

Rain started Tuesday and forecasts say it will continue to fall until Thursday.

In both Serbia and Bosnia, surging waters have flooded hundreds of homes, caused landslides, blocked local roads, and swept over streets in many towns, whose sewage systems were unable to take huge quantities of water at once.

Dozens of people have been evacuated from their homes. Seems like it should receive more coverage, but war-promoting takes precedence in my paper.

The two countries have just started repairing the damage caused by heavy rain in Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia in May, causing 51 deaths and billions in damages. The flooding affected 40 percent of Bosnia, wrecking the main agriculture industry, wiping out infrastructure, and forcing almost a quarter of the population of 4 million to leave their homes.

Another refugees crisis to the tune of millions with starvation to come. This world is falling apart faster than the globalist can mold it. Unless....

--more--"

Maybe I'm wrong, and I don't like to say it but I often sense a certain bias against Serbs in my agenda-pushing paper that promoted war against them. Just an anecdotal observation. 

Time to end this post for here come the rains again.
