Floods in Germany

[uai]

It seems that some of our Club colleagues have been hit I am trying to find out who is in trouble and will try to set up a gofundme or similar if appropriate.

shit, is that an NK? Terrible tragedy for those effected

I did an installation at a Steelworks in Stolberg back in the '80s.

Yes that was an NK. I am not yet in contact with all in the regions affeted. There have been fatalities in the families and there are still people missing.

Very sad and disheartening to see perfect beautiful lives turned upside down.

The floods were crazy... Heck just the amount of rain an cool temperatures we've been having this summer while the other side of the globe is smashing records for heat, drought, and fires on a nearly daily basis.... Ugh. Climate change is real, peeps. 

 

We were spared here in Freiburg, but I took a ride out to the Rhine on Sunday and they had all the flow gates down with the river raging full-tilt. Impressive. 

 

Hope everyone, BMW enthusiasts, friends, family, and common-folk alike are doing OK. Really tragic.

Mishas' videos show the situation there pretty well, I think. Usually he shares some Nürburgring content.
