...traffic. Seemingly every car and truck that could move was pressed into carrying refugees burdened with cargo ranging from pigs to pianos. Saving livestock put unusual pressures on vehicles and roads. As the exodus progressed, the Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, just north of the flood zone, turned into a latter-day Noah's ark.
