Poor, poor Germany

PippaZ

I saw some footage about Belgium just after I posted Kali2. I hadn't realised it had affected parts of Switzerland too.

And the Netherlands Pippa but Germany is the worst.

There are some good explanations and satellite images online about the way the high pressure "fronts" circled Germany and in effect trapped the rain in one area.
The recent (pretty alarming) floods in London were part of the same system apparently.

I too hope no one in Government is pondering over "Foreign Aid" tonight NotSpaghetti. They are our neighbours and our friends and we need to do anything we can to help.

A devastating catastrophe, so so sad.

Oh, I just saw it. How dreadful. We are so insular here, sometimes I just despair. All we talk about is Covid Covid Covid. Those poor people.

What ? We don’t get much European news here. I will google it.

Germany is hardly a third world country !

I wish we'd sent some help. Lots of other countries have done so.

Belgium and parts of Eastern Switzerland. Truly tragic. I do hope the UK will help however they can.
