| Description: | Yugoslavia suffers her worst flood in modern history as rivers in Central and Southern areas of the country smash their banks. Tens of thousands are homeless. It is the greatest disaster to hit the nation since the Skopje earthquake of 1963. The Western Morava River churning with heavy turbulence it almost looks like smoke instead of water. MS - This might be the Bosnia or Neretva river that has flooded a cottage style home. MS - One of the rivers flooding over a bridge and it gives the illusion of a water fall. MS - This looks like a lake or a wide part of the river but it isn't. It's part of a town that once was a street. MS - Water has totally engulfed a towns street and it looks more like a river rapid. MS - A smaller dyke blasted with dynamite by army engineers. MS - The result of the blasting of the dyke, water is re-routed to open fields away from the towns.
