Extreme weather in Switzerland

My mother just called me to tell me about torrential rains in der Schwyz, and as a result, huge floods. Not as bad as in 2005, but bad enough to disrupt rail service in many regions, cut out electricity, and have people in lowlands evacuate. We are heading there on Thursday,and I would like to know what to expect. US news on the subject is virtually non-existent. I poked around the net and it seems that things are slowly getting better. I am hoping to at least land safely and on time, and we'll figure it out from there. If anyone is out there in der Schwyz now, please report.

Hi Natasha. Deutsche Welle has broadcast coverage of the flooding. It appears that the waters are now receding nicely. You should be ok.
