In August 2002, a week of intense rainfall produced flooding across a large portion of Europe. It reached the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Ukraine and Russia.[2] The event killed 232 people and left €27.7 billion (US$27.115 billion) in damage.[1] The flood was of a magnitude expected to occur roughly once a century.[3] Flood heights unknown since St. Mary Magdalene's flood were recorded.[4]
