Water resistance

If you’re worried about the flooding of the Seine, don’t be. Not yet, anyway. This is not unusual here, and we have a way to go to equal 1939, or 1982…

And this is nothing compared to the flood of 1910. The marker for that one is about 3 metres higher:

    It is interesting to observe how the text depicts a calm attitude toward the elements. People who live near the Seine seem to have become accustomed to such situations and do not succumb to panic. I am even a little impressed by this — a certain harmony between man and nature. At the same time, I thought about how important it is to be prepared for any changes in the environment, even if they seem insignificant.
    By the way, while reading, I remembered the website buy window film , where you can find everything you need to furnish your home — from window films to decorative solutions. This is a good example of how technology helps to create comfort and safety even in places where nature sometimes reminds us of its power.
