A sickened state this complete area via the world looking at that's usually a running off in fact it's the rink behind trying. When I go out on a run around the city on this particular that you're looking at on a normal day in the thumb up. Or in the spring would be full of forests walking underneath the bridges along the thing rev up and that's what we are today this is the seine river. But the moment authorities as saying that the levels but currently around seventeen things not just put that into context. Of the weekend. They could rise to twenty feet now that's still a little bit shoals of the June 263 level which was just over twenty feet. But it's still pretty highlight. Usually on this river.

A breaching. Of the banks. Are not can be significant Juba. Wow look at this this is 1910. Totally about this is this is you bet who's own who's a local prison and a snapping a picture back up again. To Brasilia as a local prison has lived here all of his life when I want bumped into into you that it is useless to them. Lived up. You better showing me say a picture polls.
