BRABANT FIGHTS AGAINST WATER Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm).

 

 

The water in the Bommelerwaard has reached as high as 7,50 meters above the NAP. This is higher than during the flood of 1993. It means the start of the latest alert phase for the inhabitants of the Bommelerwaard: they must prepare to evacuate. In total, 46000 people have to leave their houses. Most don't wait until they have to go and they leave before the final evacuation. They are mostly going to relatives or friends.

They try to save the A2 but it was to late

Then the A2 (a very important highway in Holland) by Den Bosch is in danger of the flood. With an emergency dike people try to prevent it, but it is too late. In Kent there were problems too; nobody could leave or enter the villages by car. People who wanted to leave Kent to the villages needed a helicopter or a boat.

Next day.
