- Story Text: - INTRO: Unusually snowy winter in Ukraine resulted in massive floods with the spring thaw this April.
----------------------------------------------------- About 5,000 houses were flooded in the Rovno region of Ukraine on Saturday (April 13) and people had to use hastily made boats and rafts as their means of transport.
"Water is everywhere, in houses, in cattle-sheds, in cellars" local residents said.
The population of the area were warned in advance about the floods and had enough time to prepare and move their belongings to the upper floors of their homes. No civilian casualties or major damage have been reported so far.
