Insane floods in Germany, Belgium and the south of the NL's.. Maybe other places too, the news only covers those three.
Everyone OK?

Did you mean southeast of Frankfurt?All fine here 50 kilometers southwest of Frankfurt am Main, in the corner of Bavaria. We are situated on a hillside, and have had some issues (water in the cellar) during the past few years, so I can't deny I am a bit concerned when the rain gets going ... Further south in Bavaria it is much worse. One young man in the extended family is off for voluntary fire brigade service in North Rhine-Westphalia to clean up.
Yes, of course it is southeast, I just got confused trying to think about where I am in relation to other places. As well as you I hope the rains will stay away and the sun will come back again.Did you mean southeast of Frankfurt?
Lot of love for my German friends. Hope things return to normal quickly and there are no new rains for a while.

I lived a couple of years outside of Pirmasens, which is about 150 kilometers SW of Frankfurt, so at first I thought you might be talking about somewhere close to where I used to liveYes, of course it is southeast, I just got confused trying to think about where I am in relation to other places.

Aha - had to look that place up on Wikipedia. The closest "large" town to where I live that you can find on a decent map is Aschaffenburg.I lived a couple of years outside of Pirmasens, which is about 150 kilometers SW of Frankfurt, so at first I thought you might be talking about somewhere close to where I used to live
there used to be. High-Altitude winds. Sad to see that system out of balanceI wish we could figure a quick way to relocate water from where there is too much... to where there is too little.
I live upstream from you, in France, a few kilometers from where the Chiers (coming from Luxembourg) meets the Meuse. The valley on the other side of the hill (where the Chiers runs) flooded on Thursday night, the water reached 70cm above the historical record. The Meuse runs at the end of my garden, and remained quite low through the rain. Four roads around me are still under water.This dyke is separating my village from the Maas river (runs through France, Germany, Belgium, parts of luxemburg, collecting more water on the way).
