2021-07-15 more rain

My heart goes out to the people of western Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate), Belgium and Luxembourg, where last night/today the worst floodings since years caused 58 fatalities and at least 60 missing persons. What a horror,... here the situation is still bad, but no one was badly hurt yet. The weather forecasters say more rain is expected in the coming days.
FYI: I deliberately do not go into the zones that are dangerous or where the fire brigade and civil defense are fighting against the water. Just for a pic. There are enough disaster tourists and onlookers, worsening the situation and being an obstacle for the helpers.
So sorry to hear the plight of these poor people, climate change is so worrying

The weather is just so crazy… I hope the missing people are located quickly and safely… sending up some prayers! Oh… forgot to say… very dramatic photo… looks like it has three distinct tones… nice!

A very dramatic capture. Such shocking news.

Wonderful image and your comments about 'disaster tourism' are apt!

I worked in Nord Rhein Westfalia in 1969. It was right on the Rhein. Global Climate change makes so many different kinds of extremes everywhere. You are flooding and we are in severe drought and fire danger.

"What have they done to the rain..?" Floods are so difficult! A dark and somber image to fit the mood...

I wasn't aware of the weather disaster (can you tell I rarely watch the news?!). My heart and prayers go out to those involved. This shot of the sky and clouds and mountains is very dramatic.

A stunning dramatic shot. Hope you continue to stay safe, and that those affected are out of it soon.

Very dramatic shot. So much weird and dangerous weather situations occurring all over the world and yet we still have those who seem to deny that anything is wrong or needs to be taken seriously.
