Floods

Instead of going to the mountains, a walk to the nearby river.

Floods The barracks are already under water.

I would be very grateful if you could let me know later whether the Mali Graben overflowed the road later today or tomorrow, especially around the footbridge in the picture.

Murglovc30. 03. 2009 19:50:20

In the afternoon the water started to recede, so there was no overflow over the road.

In northern Ljubljana (zg. Šiška, Šentvid) hail as big as a walnut with shell. It fell for about ten minutes. Covered the car urgently with blue tarps because projectiles were falling! Now calming down, thank God.

In Pržanj - Ljubljana area with light rain small hail started falling. Hail surely towards evening. Protect things with roof tiles, floors, boards, whatever not yet for scrap! Lp-Rok zavijanje z očmi

This morning I took a walk to Tacen Bridge and checked the Sava river area by the Canoe center. Already from afar it was roaring like ten Savica Waterfalls. The water was raging and overflowed the bank where it covered the asphalt driveway. In the river whole tree logs and plastic bottles were floating. The sight was really chilling with the extraordinary power of the huge flow, whirlpools and waves up to three meters and more. Adding pictures. Lp eek

I also took a little look around on this rainy day, where about 500 l of rain per m² should have fallen in our parts, currently (15:20 h) it's still raining heavily.

lake in the upper part of Bavšica, road impassable, in November 2000 entire Bavšica was under water

in the valley of a hundred waterfalls above Log pod Mangartom abundant flow in all gullies

Mangrtski potok, where there used to be an old bridge

Mangrtski potok towards the mouth into Predelica

Mangart stream in the area of Stožje landslide

the Stožje landslide area acted quite calmly, no danger for the next 500-1000 years

Boka waterfall abundantly spewed Kanin waters

on the radar image of precipitation it is seen that they are withdrawing to the east

on the satellite image cloud cover is visible coming from the west a cold front

Really magnificent waterfalls in Trenta, but let's hope they won't cause major damage or even human casualties. On Vogel camera-view of Lake Bohinj I noticed an incredibly large Govec waterfall (cave active only in heavy rains). Also in Ljubljana the rain doesn't let up, falling in intervals of stronger storms. Tomorrow we need to take advantage of the nice clear day in the mountains, because another week of rain is forecast, but this time snow line around 1500-1600 m asl.

Kozorog25. 12. 2009 18:18:32

Triglavski, one question. Usually the Boka waterfall due to "high water" carried quite a bit of gravel, stones and rocks down to the valley... and thus successfully "dammed" the Soča river with that material. That's why it flooded in the Bovec basin. Have they regulated the confluence to the extent that this danger is no more? Or?

triglavski25. 12. 2009 18:34:25

Yes that was a problem a few years ago, when Boka flowed perpendicularly into Soča and "blocked" it, which resulted in flooding the area at Žvikarju-Podklopca. Then they arranged the Boka bed at the outlet so that it flows obliquely, so the water drains easier and doesn't raise the Soča level, and also carries away the material continuously. Of course with larger flow material accumulates and cleaning will be needed for better flow.

husky25. 12. 2009 18:56:29

If Boka is big enough it causes disturbance in Soča flow and accumulation forms, flooding the plain at Žvikarju. This still happens and did today too.

Similar problem at the confluence of Bača and Idrijca, where they also tried removing gravel and widening the bed, but no real effect.

sabina.725. 12. 2009 19:37:16

In Gorizia Soča looks like this......it hasn't risen like this for years, and it's rarely so wavy - around us no major damage so far....

koren55525. 12. 2009 20:17:22

Nice photos

ksena25. 12. 2009 21:13:36

I'll add my photos too....shivers ran through me when I watched the river winding around the Kanal houses, which under normal conditions are quite high above the Soča bed

those houses usually tower high above the riverbed

today no one would achieve the record jumping from this famous bridge

Attaching a couple of pictures from Tolmin...

Recently a strong thunderstorm bypassed Ljubljana, fortunately without hail. The situation is already calming down. It was interesting to observe the circling of the buzzard above Pržanj about 100m higher, half an hour before the deluge. Pigeons and magpies also hid in shelter in low flight.
