This year's, June, repeated rainfall thunderstorms, limited the number of tourists coming to the Bieszczady Mountains. Near our centre, Sosnowa Aleja, soaked land slumped, causing a breach under the construction of the terrace of the neighbour’s house. A large amount of water flowing from the mountains also threatened the other buildings. All-night vigilance of the owners and their hard work of endangered houses helped to protect farms against their destruction. The Hoczewka river flowing through our area has gained the highest water level in recent years (see photo 11 and 12). The threat was the increasing water pressure caused by trees blocking it at the bridge supports. Rapid intervention of the fire brigade prevented other damage.
