As soon as this wood is gone, the water here will rise rapidly again.

We will be getting more water again. At the moment we are primarily trying to clear flooded wood and above all we will evacuate the rest of the people from the flooded Matte district.

It really hits home when you see something like this. Lots of people have lost their whole existence.

So there's all kinds of wood, all kinds of debris and hazardous materials in the water right now, and it's just not safe.
