Roads and buildings were flooded this week due to overflowing rivers. Emergency workers told Reuters news agency on Wednesday that more heavy rains are expected. The Polish government held a crisis meeting in Warsaw to discuss fears of major population centres being flooded by the Odra and Vistula rivers. "The current situation is quite severe and we can expect it to get even worse in the next couple of days," Witold Maziarz, spokesman at the national firefighting headquarters told Reuters. "If we get intense rainfalls and strong winds, as expected, then many more rivers can overflow. We are preparing ourselves for many more operations." The flooding forced a car off a bridge in the area killing four people on Tuesday, while three more died on Wednesday, Maziarz said. Authorities did not provide details on the other two deaths, Reuters reported.

USGS/Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, Washington DESCRIPTION: Glacial Lake Missoula and the Missoula Floods Lake Missoula Spokane Floods Channeled Scablands Cordilleran Ice Sheet Crown Point Grand Coulee and Moses Coulee Hood River Valley Palouse Falls Potholes Sun Lakes - Dry Falls Wallula Gap Willamette Valley Lake Missoula From: U.S. National Park Service Website, Ice Age Floods, 2002 During the last Ice Age, a finger of the Cordilleran ice sheet crept southward into the Idaho Panhandle, blocking the Clark Fork River and creating Glacial Lake Missoula . As the waters rose behind this 2,000-foot ice dam, they flooded the valleys of western Montana. At its greatest extent, Glacial Lake Missoula stretched eastward a distance of some 200 miles, essentially creating an inland sea. Periodically, the ice dam would fail. These failures were often catastrophic, resulting in a large flood of ice- and dirt-filled water that would rush down the Columbia River drainage, across northern Idaho and eastern and central Washington, through the Columbia River Gorge, back up into Oregon's Willamette Valley, and finally pour into the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River. The glacial lake, at its maximum height and extent, contained more than 500 cubic miles of water. When Glacial Lake Missoula burst through the ice dam and exploded downstream, it did so at a rate 10 times the combined flow of all the rivers of the world. This towering mass of water and ice literally shook the ground as it thundered towards the Pacific Ocean, stripping away thick soils and cutting deep canyons in the underlying bedrock. With flood waters roaring across the landscape at speeds approaching 65 miles per hour, the lake would have drained in as little as 48 hours.

Story Tools RELATED Floods devastate China BEIJING, China (CNN) Weeks of heavy rain have caused at least three landslides along with heavy flooding in central and eastern China. The landslides happened over the weekend in Tibet, Sichuan, and Hubei provinces, China's official Xinhua news agency said Monday. In eastern China, there was a break Monday in rising water levels on the upper reaches of the Huai River. Farther downstream, however, the levels remained high in the eastern province of Jiangsu and at Hongze Lake. Residents near the lake remained on high alert, trying to man the dikes to contain the river or divert the water to release pressure. About a million people have been evacuated in Anhui, Jiangsu, and Hunan provinces so that water can be diverted to farmland there in order to protect the cities. An estimated 1.5 million people were working shifts to monitor the dikes for signs of leakage.

Indonesia, India, Taiwan and China have all been drenched with heavy rain causing major flooding and landslides. But perhaps the most badly hit is Bangladesh where half a million people have been marooned by rising floodwaters. The worst affected areas are in the country's north, northwest and northeast. The two major river systems, the Ganges (Padma) and Brahmaputra (Jamuna), are both rising and have passed the danger point at ten different locations in the region. Bangladesh's Flood Forecasting and Warning Center estimates 500,000 people have been affected so far, rendered homeless by flooding and facing a growing threat of disease. Officials have not given any casualty figures, though unofficial sources say at least six people have been killed and two remain missing.
