PREVIEW

Large ice floes have pushed their way onto the banks of the German-Polish border river Oder in Lebus, ten kilometers north of Frankfurt (Oder). Crumbly 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.
