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

 

 

The Maas is still rising. The people in other places are now much more worried about the water. Some villages in South Holland (a province of The Netherlands) are even preparing an evacuation for today. Some ministers are coming to the areas that are flooded. The Queen of the Netherlands is coming too. And, of course, the first onlookers are coming to see the disasters, but the authorities have already taken some measures to prevent inconveniences. 

Not only ministers are coming but also the queen of the Netherlands.

Parts of dikes are closed to onlookers. The dike by Kerkdriel is closed. People who want to go on the dike must briefly explain why, and even then they may not get permission.

One of the few places where everyone is allowed to go on the dike is in Zaltbommel. Soon the center of Zaltbommel is filled with cars. The shopkeepers are happy with a lot of onlookers in Zaltbommel since it increases their business.

Next day.
