    Floods in my area (pics)

    There were heavy rainfalls yesterday and the night before yesterday (it was pouring down for almost 24 hours), and the water of the rivers were rising quickly. Having three rivers here in our town, parts of the town were soon flooded. In many houses, the basements were full of water, and streets had to be closed.

    I went downtown this morning to take some photos; luckily the water was already on its way back. But you can still see how scary it was (faces of people in the pics were made blurry to protect their privacy):






















    Other parts, like the next big city, Kassel, were hit even harder by the floods!

    Well, the good thing is that the water levels are going down, so things are getting back to normal. But the newspaper said that in Goettingen, which is 30 km away from here, obviously a woman fell into a river and wasn't seen again. I wonder what happened to her.
