SCHWEIZ HOCHWASSER SCHUEPFHEIM
A farm house and stable are damaged by a mudslide outside the town of Schuepfheim LU, Switzerland, Tuesday, August 23, 2005. After several days of continuous rainfall several rivers and lakes in central Switzerland have inundated large areas of the country. The situation has become "particularly precarious" in the Bernese Oberland, particularly in the region around lakes Thun and Brienz, according to local authorities. Both lakes have risen above critical levels, more damage is expected, and water levels could climb above the 1999 record. (KEYSTONE/Alessandro della Valle)
