Although the rain ceased long ago, the water level further down our road continues to rise.
Above: The middle section of ul. Trombity, where ul. Nawłocka meets ul. Dumki, is seriously under water.
Below: View looking down from the railway embankment towards the junction of ul. Kórnicka and Trombity.

Below: the source of the ever-rising water. The drainage tunnel under the railway line, letting in vast volumes from the flooded fields on the other side. Water in the ditch in the foregound was surging forward, heading for the wetlands behind me, the lowest point in Jeziorki.
Below: across the tracks, on the Dawidy Bankowe side. The fields are under water as is the track from ul. Baletowa. The guy in the hi-vi jacket is a railway track inspector.
Below: The water washed off the fields, across ul. Kórnicka and rushed on towards the wetland (to Eddie's left). Water will find its own level; block it off here, it will run around a different way.
Below: Just after sunset, a combined team of firemen and railway workers had dammed the tunnel under the railway line. It had been allowing vast amounts of water off the fields on the other side to rush through onto the Trombity side. A decision had been taken to leave the fields across the tracks under water and save the houses on this side from further flooding. Each house on ul. Kórnicka had its own portable toilet placed outside it, as the septic tanks had overflown.

The last picture in this post is quite a poetic one :)
