'Red Triangle' Storm

 If you gaze at weather maps for my regional state of Hessen for Saturday.....BIG red triangle zone.  Things are a bit hyped up and there's fear of heavy rain (STARK REGEN is the term).  

Because of the flooding of last week....I asked the wife (German in nature) if we should prepare in anyway for the storm front coming on Saturday afternoon.  She just looked at me.....where exactly do you want to go....was the come-back.

Our one and only shelter in the village....is actually at the lowest elevation and would be underwater if massive rains came.

The problem now....with all the political and weather hype of the past week....folks take this RED TRIANGLE business ultra-serious.  I could see an entire village of 3,000 people up at midnight when the weather alert is given, and extremely worried over flooding.
