Tusk on the Flood Situation:

The Difference is Significant. It's Different Than We Thought 8 Hours Ago.

- I have a question, so that we are as precise as possible, what does this mean compared to the forecasts we had yesterday evening? They were a bit more optimistic yesterday evening than the actual situation, regarding the water level and, if I understand correctly, it is still minimally, but rising - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the crisis management team meeting, after hearing information about the current state of rivers in Wrocław. - I don't want to probe excessively, but I understand that you are not able to, and in a very short period of time and without precipitation, predict with precision, I don't know, to within 10, 20 cm the water level, right, because the difference is significant, it's over 30 cm and it was still rising both after midnight and after 2 AM, and it's still rising, so, to put it mildly, it's different than we thought 8 hours ago - he continued.
