Extreme weather here in Europe. Yesterday I felt sick to my stomach of what is going on here right now. But it is not over yet. Flooding in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, more than 100 people dead and i just heard that an hour ago a dyke broke in Meerssen.
At the same time with all this going on the Dutch crime reporter who has done tremendous work in solving cold cases has passed away yesterday he was shot in the head last week in broad daylight in the streets of Amsterdam. Incredible sad that this man got shot.
Here where i live the river is scary high the water here is expected to rise to its highest point tomorrow. But there is enough room here to distribute the water to the grassfields. The animals have already been evacuated. Two years ago the rivers where so low that ships got stuck. This high water is very unusual for summer. In 350 years this extreme weather has not happened. We have had a nasty floodings before in 1993 and 1995 and because of this a whole delta network plan was developed and higher dykes where built. This was an extreme amount of rain that fell here. And the rainclowds hardly moved at all. It was like they fed themselves.
