More than 150 people across Europe have been killed and more than 600 injured after record-breaking rains caused catastrophic flooding on July 14 and 15, 2021. German authorities said more than 1 000 people are still unaccounted for. The worst affected were Germany and Belgium, followed by France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
In western Germany alone, the worst-affected region, more than 130 people have been killed after extremely heavy rains caused rivers to burst their banks, destroying roads, bridges, and homes. Numerous mudslides have contributed to the disaster which happened at an astonishing speed.
According to DW, more than 1 000 people are still missing and many more remain trapped in flooded buildings. Most of the unaccounted for are in the northern part of Rhineland-Palatinate. While it's unclear why there is such a high number of unaccounted people, it's possible this could be due to land and mobile network outages.
Many places in Germany's worst-affected state, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), are still underwater, while others are assessing damage as floodwaters recede.

Seems I read about some of these things happening all over the place.
Let see........where?......oh yeah, it was in the Bible.
German Humor is an oxymoron.
Guess what is the culprit?
Of course, the same as the common culprit of all natural disasters!
Global warming!
Kind of boring. Maybe they could find something else for a change?
A little reminder of what it was like routinely in Germany from 1942-1945. Chuchill war right. The Germans are either at your feet or at your throat.
Seriously though some of that footage reminded my of the Japan tsunami.
The power of nature is something to behold. Man seems so inconsequential against it.
Forget Global Warming and investigate what they did wrong where they built
Yep!
It’s 100% accurate on it’s predictions.
Worse stuff will be coming down the pipe soon too.
Brace yourselves.
Nonsense I remember the Midwest floods and our various hurricanes. Weather happens.
German (DW) news blame officially global warming.
There are some voices (probably right wing extremists) who suggest major problems with preventions and disaster warning systems.
Shame, that all racist whistle!
The “water circulation” cycle left the North American Pacific northwest very dry, and made up for that in the moisture it delivered to Northern Europe. To the whole earth and its LIFE writ large, “balance” is in the whole not in the parts.
Living in a flood plain has its downsides.
You think some people will return to that old habit of prayer?
Investigate if it is Global Wetting.
We can say it with certainty — BIDEN’S FAULT
STOLEN ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!
This used to happen in West Virginia all of the time.
Hmmmm. Wonder what’s different?
#1 Remember that man is in charge.....
Be sure to use less water and these floods would not happen : )
don’t expect sean penn to arrive in a leaky boat, and a film crew, to save victims - not politically correct, he saves only BLACK victims.
BULLSHITTING, SELF-RIGHTEOUS , HYPOCRITE ,PHONY!!!!
