An aerial view of the flooded Austrian ski resort of Lech am
Arlberg, Austria August 23, 2005. Lakes and rivers burst their banks after days
of fierce downpours across Switzerland, Austria and Germany, cutting off roads,
power and communications from hundreds of communities. In Austria, the death
toll rose to three on Wednesday and a fourth person was missing, feared drowned,
police said. In Austria, an emergency cabinet meeting pledged swift aid to
homeowners and farmers while flood waters receded after the rain petered out in
the hardest hit provinces of Vorarlberg and Tyrol, bordering Switzerland and
Bavaria. Picture taken August 23, 2005. [Reuters]
