Husinec - Torrential rains hit the southern part of the country over the weekend following the disastrous flooding in the north-eastern region which claimed 13 lives.

Dozens were evacuated on Sunday in the south of the country with rivers swelling and causing further damage. No casualties have been reported.

Roads were damaged, houses and cars swept away with power supplies cut in some of the flood-hit localities.

Army troops and firefighters have been helping since last week with clean-up operations.

Meteorologists expect more rain this week with more water rising in the rivers.

This year's floods are the biggest natural disaster to the Czechs since the 2002 flooding which killed 17 people.
