STORYLINE:
Parts of the Slovak capital Bratislava were underwater Sunday, as flooding and torrential rain wreaked havoc around central Europe.
The entrance to Bratislava's Stupava castle was flooded, as the river Danube reached record levels.
Emergency workers were setting up barricades along the Danube riverbank to prevent further flooding of the city.
Several Central European nations have already been hit by severe flooding, including Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania, while Slovakia and Hungary might come next, as a result of a low pressure system from northern Italy dumping record rainfall in the region since Thursday.
The floods have claimed five lives in Romania, one each in Austria and Poland. In the Czech Republic, four people who were swept away by waters were missing, police said.
