From the two western German states of NRW and Rhineland Pfalz....it was a remarkable amount of heavy rain that occurred in the past 36 hours, and a massive amount of flood damage. Current tally on deaths? 59. Missing? Near 1,300.
There's also word this morning that a dam near Aachen is overflowing in a serious way.
Talk of more rain? Well....yeah.
Even here in my region of Hessen....flooding along the Rhine has weakened a state highway (B42) area along the river near Lorch. There's several km's of road that is closed off, and probably will require a month minimum of work to reinforce it.
