if i only knew...

You must have heard about

You must have heard about the floods sweeping across Europe... well, Budapest wasn't spared, but after the great flood of 1873, our great-great-great granddads built tall walls along the danube that withstand a 10 meter flood. The one we had this week was 8.5 meters, and the city didn't have any serious problems, but there were quite a few unusual scenes (and the water level did break all previous records, and outside Budapest the little towns and villages alongside the river are very badly swamped).
