    At least 43 people have been killed and tens of thousands of others forced to flee their homes in the Balkans during the worst flooding in over a century for the region.


    The flooding in Bosnia, Serbia, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Croatia, started on Thursday after a slow-moving system dumped three months worth of rain onto the region in just three days.


    "A strong disturbance in the jet stream closed off into a swirling, stuck upper-level low near the Balkans, instead of sweeping through," said weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman. "The result is persistent, flooding rainfall."


    More than 100,000 homes, 230 schools, businesses, roads and railways were washed out by the flooding. Tens of thousands were evacuated across the three countries, 20,000-plus in Serbia alone, including entire towns in some instances. Around a million people are without drinking water in Bosnia alone, Bosnian Foreign Minister Zlatko Lagumdzija said Monday.
