Luckily in Warsaw, where I live there was, so far, little rain and nothing bigger isnt expected, but southern part of country is in danger, some small riveres already create flood in small cities and villages.

I am sure I have read somewhere that drowning is a common form of death in the Sahara. When rain does fall, there is lots of bare rock, so it produces very rapid flash floods that can sweep away unwary travellers.

"Flash flooding" can be a big issue in parts of the Western US as well.
