Floods in Germany, Belgium Leave at Least 100 Dead as Rescuers Race to Find Survivors

BERLIN—Rescuers in Germany and neighboring countries were racing to find survivors from the region’s worst flooding this century, as the death toll rose to over 100 with hundreds still missing following days of torrential rainfall that some politicians and scientists linked to climate change.

German authorities used helicopters and drones to locate survivors who fled to roofs and high ground without being able to collect any of their belongings when the homes were engulfed by flash floods that turned streets into rivers, swept away cars and crushed houses. The German military joined in the effort to support thousands of rescue workers amid a shortage of helicopters and other hardware after hundreds of houses collapsed or became severely damaged in the Western states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. At least 93 people had been killed in Germany, according to local authorities on Friday.

Some 1,300 people are currently unaccounted for in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, a town about 35 miles south of Cologne, according to local authorities, though this may in part be due to mobile phone services being interrupted in parts of the region. Thousands of survivors were being put up in schools, hotels and sports halls amid a warning not to return to their homes even if the waters subside due to danger of the foundations crumbling after days of flooding, RhinelandPalatinate’s premier Malu Dreyer said in a broadcast interview Friday. Towns in the area are known for their medieval urban cores made up of half-timbered housing.

This is happened so shortly after EU tried to Eurobully Hungary when they passed a law to protect children and under 18s from rampant LGBT EU pride. Eurobully Poland for being anti-abortion while EU Union performs 1mil abortions /year! Neighboring Hungary & Poland unharmed?

With all the earth destroying climate calamities going on every year from heatwaves to extreme storms and floods, isn't it about time we hold the conservative deniers responsible for their decades of global warming denial with special fees and taxation? 🤷🏻‍♂️ ClimateCrisis

So there has been a flood 100 years ago that was just as bad as this one. And I'm sure there was another time prior to 100 years ago where another major flood occurred.
