I watch the news on our national tv too when it comes to report to this... Am always sad when there is news of flooding not only now in Germany but that time in Japan cuz of tsunami and last year in my country... just frightens me when there is shown some drastic pictures... am happy nee-chan is safe and didn't get too many troubles yourself but again sad for your relatives ne... :(

as you know I´m fine^^ :) but it´s really saddening seeing all these pics and videos from citys around Europe that got affected by it .. and there will be more citys in the next days :( T__T

Whoa! The first few pictures I already saw, from the stadium mostly. Cleaning up might be worse then the flood itself. Keep up the good spirit!
In Hungary we just started getting issues with the Danube. It flows next to my home town, and I need to get over it to get to work. >_>" Not easy.

oh I hope you stay safe :( I saw pics from German citys like Deggendorf and Passau that get flooded by river Danube (or Donau as it is called here) .. it was really really bad :( I hope your city wont get affected by it :( and yes .. cleaning up the mess is really annoying .. all the mood it is not easy to get it clean :( but we all give our best :) gladly the outcome wasn´t as bad as predicted first after the water went back

At the moment I'm good, and we are not that close anyway. What I heard is that they wait the peak for Tuesday. Before it was Saturday/Monday, but since then we had rain, more times a day, which does not help much.
Currently my problem is if I can get to work. That seems okay. At weekend I would have an exam, and just asked the teacher if I can delay it after the flood is over.

I read about this in the papers the other day! I come from the Philippines, where floods happen often because of poor drainage systems and unpredictable weather patterns, and I know how inconvenient - not to mention scary - floods are. Please stay safe!

the last flood in our city happend in 1954 .. so since nobody was really prepared for it it was real chaotic .. it´s really really scary :( .. I hope you also stay safe whenever something like this happens again in the Philippines :)
