State of emergency as Hungary expects worst-ever flooding

Please pray for Hungary and other European countries--Austria, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic-- currently being hit by floods.  At least 15 people have been killed across Central Europe, and many cities and towns along the Danube River have already had to evacuate. Water levels are expected to reach record highs this weekend in Budapest, and volunteers are busy making preparations.
