PREVIEW

Ice floes pushed together are piling up on the German-Polish border river Oder between Frankfurt (Oder) and Slubice in Poland (r, aerial photo taken with a drone). Crumbling ice, rising water: the danger of sudden rises in water levels on the Oder is growing. There is a flood warning for Frankfurt (Oder). As the ice cover on the Oder is becoming brittle and there have been shifts, the water level has risen sharply. In the morning it was over 4 meters. The State Office for the Environment issued a flood warning for the city of Frankfurt (Oder) on Wednesday evening.
