d. w. ah . the memories are still vivid on may 29th, 2016 disaster struck the village of pounds back and south western germany. oh the cut us off herself. i literally watched the floss a wave of debris heading towards me. afloat we read it made a noise while luncheon because i couldn't figure out what it was exactly. and then i realized how to help the whole house was shaking. palace past mayor hung cash film, the catastrophe unfolding in front of him. i said once in, it's in, sag completely insane before you know, the emergency services can't do anything. it's not impossible. now out of the

question, my god say pounds bottle via financial kill. i was in shock. i couldn't even begin to process what i was saying. missed i know. although no lives were lost. the flood left a village devastated says his voice, horrible. i'm speechless of the mobile. people have never seen anything like it. a few years later, germany suffering the effects of a different kind of extreme weather. in 20182019 temperatures rose above 40 degrees celsius in the summer with no rain for months on end, rivers tried up a disaster for the local environment and its inhabitants yacht and last year there was no rainfall here in the region for more than 70 day, hine, and then in summer 2021. the, our valley in western germany was hit by flash flooding let's,

as you looked at and all of a sudden we were confronted with issues that we'd always thought only affected somewhere else in the world of places like bangladesh. dramatic, whether fluctuations have become commonplace. what does the future hold and what do we need to do to cope with climate change? ah ah, we begin our research and didn't have work in the home secretion. an idyllic spot at the foot of the stone via forest. on june 5th, 20215 weeks before the flooding in the eye valley, a summer storm reeked havoc here. the picturesque village was

overwhelmed, and yoga bowman's home was among the many destroyed. he and his wife, marianna, will never forget that day, a traumatic experience. that's edged in their memory. the basement was completely flooded. the couple had only just finished renovating their home. and now had to start all over again from scratch. they own a heating installation business, so at least they could do a lot of the work themselves. yeah, through alice on the farthest, murphy up for if we just got everything finished in here, marked mid 5 or 6 years ago were fitted the house out with external thermal insulation for energy efficiency and switched from fossil fuels to an air to water heat pump. inside yet we done the garden too, and we're actually looking forward to concentrating on other things. suddenly as i

was motor that me good wanted, i'm a little bit when it wasn't to be after hours of torrential rain fall over the local forest hills. the village was hit by a deluge. m a quick cripple indulging cuz i can't get the images out of my hand is i often look at the photos we talk to them. it really got to me stuffed ah, marian bomb and still can't believe what happened. the rain and the motor often burst their banks, but villages that are nowhere near major rivers shouldn't be at risk of flooding. locals simply weren't prepared. the bellman still haven't gotten over the experience. bush answered i am to halston. i was terrified that the front door would break and the water would rush in. from upstairs, we could see the pressure building. we could see the door starting to give way. market the into was guns,

were the water was up to here. this year is, was they go through anti yard was under water here. all of them there was out on mintzberg as situated in a valley in the hunts like mountains. the village is nestled in the stone by a forest. the source of the watcher that caused such damage. forest landscapes. how fast water storage capacity soaking up heavy rainfall like a sponge. but in recent years, this has no longer been happening as efficiently as it used to. van had pound batter is in charge of the local forestry service. he and his colleague michael fake are going to show us what the problem is. with the flooding inventor book and other religious down in the

valley is linked to the state of the forest. it's increasingly try here where they're digging. even the beach trees are showing signs of drought. damage and beaches aren't usually very sensitive. it actually rained a lot in the summer of 2021. but how much rain did the ground actually absorb? what if soon transpires not much at all? yup, you can see its own dry well it has trout to become a long term problem. it both shifted about the hut and he and eric yawn in late last year. there was no rainfall here in the region for more than 70 days. in baggage. can there cost alone area? it didn't rain for over a $100.00 days. yes. by the 1st of august 2021. there was still

a deficit of over 250 liters per square meter meter. hard to imagine a given the years over all weather. but it goes to show how severe the lack of rainfall has been in the last 3 years. gosh, last if it's he to in and it's, and ja allen in ellipse and ion anchorage von as hon back explains, there needs to be 2 months, a steady rainfall day and night to make up for the drought of recent years. he also says that the forest needs to be managed differently in the past water used to be trained from the forest these days he and his team are laying pipes and taking trenches in the zone fight in order to replenish the watershed and retain the water that collects on the logging roads, but the aim is to ensure it seeps into the ground across the forest instead of flying into the valley and causing to watch or waste there to post their bank. live

all to let your hm years their feet of better. all he am the one vote back loy for de la. there are lots of streams here in the soon vas idol, the elbow and beta craven bird. and it was striking how quickly their water level was rose in just a short space of time. here in the soon vase, when it rained a massive amount of water collected in a concentrated area, which it was pretty frightening in its own boat wonder composite ispa was a song being seemed. when the storm had the forest couldn't absorb the torrential rain, the logging roads were crippled and had to be rebuilt. now deeper trenches and larger pipes have been put in place to re route heavy rainfalls to points in the forest where it can sleep into the ground. yet i shall damn it. da speed is up flush bits, inflation can be what that does is avert excessive ronald and allow groundwater to replenish lungs. i'm on the water is distributed slowly and steadily across the

forest floor. i where it's absorbed, glucose is in terms of the local ecosystem. it means there's enough water to sustain the forest as a natural resource. again, leaving squalid happenings as, as leaves from florida to for fuel fluid band had found bad planning to upgrade the whole forest. this way. it's a small but significant way of helping to reduce the effects of extreme weather. the next up on our research trip is in northern germany. every year hamburg hosty, extreme weather congress. it brings together weather and climate researchers, as well as environmental activists. the event aims to reach as many people as possible in the process, raising awareness of climate change and the need to act an urgent priority. not only from each rather just spend praga,

but also politicians and the likes of mo. she play chief, one of germany's leading climate researchers. the 2021. congress was overshadowed by the events in the us valley can if we need chain mission, the choice isn't between more or less climate protection. that between proper radical, sustainable climate protection and climate disaster. that's where we are at the um, friday for future. yeah, there's fridays for future, i think. and in 2019, there was more discussion of the climate in the environment than there's ever been before. but in 20. 19 that same year before the pandemic hair toys, we also took more cruises and more flights. and ever before that there's a huge cognitive dissonance going on. and if we really want to get anywhere, then we need to have the courage to change. and tom, these are the gifts and the, the expert attending the event, or unanimous growth drought and flooding will become increasingly common of the

enzyme to in these a taco farms will be whether it's my task master annoyance. in on the one hand, there are protracted dry spells, as we saw in 2018, 2019, and 2021. and these weren't balanced out. and there's always been the occasional dry year. but 3 in a row is conspicuous vilegas or done. and on the other hand, just good, we can expect to see increasingly frequent storms and heavy rainfall. i'm very slow moving storms and flash flooding. in general, the weather is becoming more extreme, but that the bottom line is i used to helping someone while we were at the congress, we heard about an ambitious research project looking at extreme weather in the sway be in mountains. 10 german research institutes are pulling their resources, including cloud and precipitation radars and lasers in order to explore the complex processes that occur in the atmosphere. basic scientific research that allows them

to better protect extreme weather events and their consequences. these scientists are waiting for stormy weather. this way be an abs or germany's main storm hot spot and storms are a key aspect of extreme weather. professor americans is a meteorologist with no loss of drama was i we're going to blow up a balloon, so we'll be ready if his dorm starts to breathe in for a moment. we've already set up the probes. so now we're going to load the balloons in the car, 6 or 7 of them fixed and then we'll drive right into the store. the balloons are filled with helium, they'll carry small probes into the clouds and will enable the scientists to observe. hale formation occurring during the storm. hill is a typical feature of extreme weather. the team are excited. the clouds are

gathering after hours of waiting, they now need to act fast before they head into the storm. mary quince visits the lab to check the clouds activity. which direction are they drifting in and is the upwind or convection strong enough to carry the probes into the storm clouds with unlike thank you. so it does, it does when it comes to home. convection, it shows a powerful lift off. when the rain forms it falls more or less vertical to the point where the up wind is basically it suppresses the up wednesday. so and that means that the standard lifetime of a single cell is on average 30 minutes to an hour. it destroys itself as it was, he says, cup with dental. that makes it all the more important to release the balloons in

the right place at the right time. outside the storm cell is getting stronger. it's time for the scientists to launch their balloons. right here. positioned inside cuts the probe's measure temperature and air pressure, as the balloons drift upwards through the storm. precisely where hale storms are forming inside the clouds. mckerick once can follow the action in real time signal . we've got a signal. are we going to you 3 billings? because the rains got worse, and we hope they'll take off yet, i've got a signal. if we go one lot on stop said awfully fashion the probes are inside the clouds taking the pulse of the storm

as it were yesterday of what are your thought make life i fortunately we're not in the middle of the storms out. there are 5 centimeter hailstones coming down and they made oh, and they give our cars are good bashing on the top with it. from here me here. cons and his team can collect a wealth of useful data that will help predict extreme weather events. we're planning to visit him in his lab and pass were in a few weeks time back inventor book the bounds are still dealing with the flood damage. ah, it's the weekend. but instead of putting their feet up, they're hard at work trying to make their home livable again. juergen bowman is haunted by memories of last july, when a gaping hole suddenly appeared in his yard and thought to form alcohol, or wild. if there was a power can't, because all the sockets were under water loop and it was like being on a house boat or as well as of miles for so what exactly happened as i rather than

either by i was back of open. well this here is an old stream tunnel, and there was so much pressure from underneath that he got pushed up with a self supporting structure. and when he got pushed up, it one stone breaks off and the structure collapses. briscoe, a film shot on his mobile phone shows the thing called that resulted right in front of his house. i 1st love god. employees have worked with a hole in the garden, got bigger on there now, solid wood garden bench, got pulled into the current, got turned in circles, water and was washed away by them. that was the point when i said to my husband, roger. okay, now i'm frightened. one for right. trish august through olive enamel offers one. it all disappeared into the whole of those rule of arnold. therefore the chairs are terra cotta, ornaments, surfing it all got washed away from her. what happened here was nothing in

comparison to the disaster in the our valley actually rambled. there was some damage. it's bad, it's a problem, but at least no one was heart. clerk, frank lynch withdrawn from the r valley floods in july 2021 claimed 100. 33 lives with 700 people left injured and 42000. others also affected. they were among the worst clubs in german history in the space of just a few hours every as much as it usually does. in months. the german meteorological service called an unprecedented insurance company, said it was the most expensive weather related incident in 50 years. was damages totaling an estimate of 10000000000 euros. just climate change means that such events are likely to become more frequent.

we meet up with geographers trauma hawkins camp and theresa shed idle in the village of my shots and the uh valley. they're trying to establish the precise water levels that occurred during the flooding. not easy, given that many of the water gauges along the river got swept away. experts rely on them to analyze and predict flood events. give us a standardized warden. what else? the a presidio highest warden had a little from his head was pianist from one country directly to water levels on the outflow. far exceeded any flooding that happened since records began fivefold human . and you know, we haven't seen water levels like that in recent history. and, but if you look at the history of the, our valley, india. and you can see that in fact, these extreme events did occur. they were very rare, but not on known, overcome in 18 o 4,

there was flooding in the our valley that caused similar damage. done obviously on a smaller scale because at that point in the valley was less built up top. that us tired on myself. nice little in the boat born here in my shows, the storms swept away a number of houses and destroyed the local train line. complete with most bridges, theresa title and tomas logan can from the university of bon are using a fyodor light surveying tool to measure maximum flood heights across the valley. it helps them identify precise watcher levels at precise geographical location. with the brown color of this method shows just how far the washer road thomas sudden camp has been researching the history of blood in the our valley. for many years. this time, the watcher here with 10 meters higher than its normal level. the script

a whole for soc is equal carbon, the less they can find the fisa falling in deutschland or, and they're all flawed. risk matters for all of germany's river harbor, but clearly they've not been adequate latin vs and feel on the basis of these matters. there are plenty of places where you can reasonably decides put up new buildings. who are these maps don't include historical flow, doesn't help us on the water level record and that are available. they fact just 50 or 60 years out of my food in that's a short time frame to reflect extreme. then it was, i say, emma agnes, up to bill. please. maps has since been updated and now include historical data to but what role the climate change play in the i valley disaster was that the ultimate cause in pump there, i would argue that this is gale of the flood is not necessarily climate change related. it's good and i think it in terms of the frequency. well,

if it's in other words, how often such events occur is from blog you could argue with changing weather conditions that mean the floods now occurring more frequently. and that's a consequence of climate changes. climate change increases the likelihood of such events occurring more frequently as demonstrated by a recent study conducted with the participation of the german meteorological service. yet the question remains. why is why they're becoming more extreme? we meet spend prayer at the weather center of germany's main public broadcaster some 35 forecasts are produced for weather bulletins here every day of our music to clear that job includes analyzing maps and figures not only the t v weatherman has observed that a number of weather phenomena have become increasingly common from the focus until here as much of it does as if the noise here is at 50, not went on. oh, okay. or yeah, no, he got tells us about the standing ways phenomenon,

high pressure and low pressure. france that don't actually move. it explains the devastating storms and the r valley does dawn via an pounds, but it's highly uncommon for high and low pressure. france to be stationary. but it's become a feature of current weather patterns. and if it of us feed for dorms that move, distribute rain across a wide area, but if they don't move, the impact is concentrated in one place. so there's extremely heavy rainfall. conflict. if the high pressure front doesn't move than we have the high temperatures and drought, we saw in 2003 or 2018 implement. at the moment we're seeing more frequent standing waves and also more frequent stationary highs and love was to ease of use. so that's a hypothesis that's being investigated right now in law. in scientific times, it's not straightforward. the natural world is always complex, though i'm far according to pick

a climate change as exacerbating the frequency of standing waves of air meteorologist and storms. researcher mckerick once agrees where meeting him at his research institute from ah, he said at the center dedicated to analyzing natural disasters, he and his team evaluate extreme weather events around the world. they were among the 1st to compile an overview of the scale of the i valley disaster and the damage it cost me here. cons shows us a map of the area based on satellite data and aerial images. he believes society needs to adjust to the prospect of frequent, extreme weather events. both the hum in deutschland, i extreme weather events occur in germany every year or so. there are floods and

hail storms, winter storms, and when we live with them and we have to live with them, isn't i'm it live. oh. and we have to be aware that they happen and know how to respond this, but we tend to ignore it as is typical in our society and honest, we ignore things we don't like and, and, but that can be highly distracted for and then these disasters happened when unfair to services, ok, now it doesn't, const and as collies, closely monitor the course and the consequences of these disasters. the aim is to figure out what we can learn from them. and in the meantime to remain vigilant. then with our fall in this, i can as i was there via for this one, flanagan. ideally, these are events that can and should teach us lessons for the future is as the fall when floods occur. it's a mistake to say, okay, there's been a flood, it won't happen again that soon it's go, let's rebuild everything exactly the way it was here in lance. what's happening in

the, our valley. it was, but we know now that places that were flooded are highly vulnerable. c, as in as in there were fewer, don't flashing just as ultra vaguely like ordinance in the the all sense ifs. in this cons ion statistics don't tell us anything. then i guess another flood could happen next year, or it could happen in 200 years time us us ongoing. but what we do know is that if such an extreme weather event happens again, casino den, certain spots was such as in short, on the our river will most certainly be flooded. again, sir, i do want to rent and then consider roughly at me heck, once, and his team have also analyzed the flash flooding and bounce back in 2016. at the time it was the most severe flooding scene in germany for decades. again, the cause was extremely heavy rainfall concentrated in one area. within 30 minutes, the village was torn apart. miraculously,

no one died that many were left homeless. it also resulted in an unusually vast volume of flotsam and other debris. this point it's terrible as any from speechless because i've never seen anything like it. the reconstruction work still isn't finished. and for locals, the emotional scars have yet to heal. may have hung harsh house steer the village through its darkest hour. the road to recovery has been strewn with obstacles and set back. hush has even encountered hostility. it's been a difficult few years. he's written a book about what happened and travels the country, giving talks on the environmental threads facing villages. light pounce back featuring images such as these

is a good look resume. so to the images are so affecting often by inevitably moved people deeply. image in aguilar and are you daughter's ability, you couldn't reach them the same way with words. makalya images are extremely powerful when in march i was on the cortisol, we are still dealing with the consequences that the reconstruction walk is ongoing shaw 5 years later. and we can't do everything at once, and it'll take a few more years before we don crystal and see that it's a long term process to go out. we have to think in terms of decades in recognition, has come out a little. we have to think about how to contain flooding hot, how to treat the ground, what to do to protect the places at higher altitude,

where there's heavy rainfall to hear my water sparkling stock from the villages mean square was completely rebuilt. the mayor wants to show us other reconstruction work such as the new reinforced walls along the village stream. the reconstruction work has cost the village approximately 55000000 euros to date at side the village. there are now massive debris traps along the narrow slope for punk harsh, this is the key element in the protection plan. the huge structure is designed to trap avalanches of debris pouring downstream. right, all the thong, who's o for folk off in the middle problem. i'm reason to know about 50 meters upstream. there's another huge debris trap or know of cobra. what we have to do was was,

and it's a long term project. to start is try to hold back the water at the source is where the heavy rainfall occurs. so it could be a retention reservoir this week, which is problematic up there. and it will be better if the water could seep into the ground like one storms more to me. the best solution would be to stop farming practices and plant more trees and to improve seepage potential wider. if i've a bit of a physical smoothly car buff on the land around pounds bar as extensively farmed field boundaries were removed, they could have helped contain watcher and there are fields and fields of corn. another detrimental factor, because the crop try is out the soil as a and for talk that are born come even thus understood of name living arid soil can't absorb water and that results in localized flooding. i like to compare it to

baking cake, dove this well, imagine taking some flower and pouring milk on his brow. the flour is the dry ground with the milk. the heavy rain watch you'll be laughed with. is flower on the bottom and milk just floating on top of it once you start needing and the bottom. in this case, the flower has been moistened with a little bit of milk. you can add more milk and it also can better sides and aspect. we'd like to investigate further at the university of trey or researchers are finding out how drought changes, soil, and experimenters underway in the soil science department. the samples being salmon to see how well they absorb water. they're born again from in a long shot. they were like a tithe of butter soil acts like a sponge and the landscape storing water over a long period of time, and then gradually releasing it to plant 3 to its surroundings, to lakes and rivers. extreme and extreme weather brought about by climate change

has consequences. long enough, dry soil colds absorb water at the same rate. instead, water just runs off. it was leading to flooding and bodies of water and also to soil erosion and wouldn't are parked in as it was on the soil. scientists want to demonstrate how long it takes a drop of water to seep into various coil samples. first they add a drop of glue colored water to completely try soil. it takes a while for the trap of blue water to be absorbed. the soil is so try, it's become impermeable. i've got 2 more samples. what have you found out so far? come out of the soil. samples are very different. the dryness definitely plays

a big role once good soil containing homeless is part. it takes days to moist and again across check, clearly shows that so all that isn't completely tried out can still soak up water. but if you're a today, waltney sanders, lilian lawrence garcia, noisy on when i was a student in the eighty's and ninety's, we didn't see this kind of dry soap soil. it was unimaginable in it. but that's what we're dealing with. now. the environmental research centers drop monitor shows the soil effects of up to 1.8 meters has dried out massively on and the rain for we are experiencing in 2021 is just about managing to replenish the top. so the water supply it needs to be done, but the sobs oil is still parched by the trout of the last 3 years. i got one in

one of the talking. i village and i are try subsoil and flooding. not as contradictory as it sounds, according to the experts. the jar of 2018 resulted in reduced harvests and millions of years worth of losses in germany's agricultural sector. rivers dried up, such as the tiresome, near fryeburg which closed from the black forest industry struggled with a shortage of raw materials and even gas was in short supply. the media was full of doomsday scenarios. yet man, and of man as it goes on, feel, in my opinion, it's a mistake to focus on all the doom and gloom. when the media goes on about the apocalypse and his crisis and that crisis, he agrees that we end up so overwhelmed that we lose all our courage and think there's no point trying to do anything about it. or when, in fact there are so many groundbreaking projects is skipped,

though fairly large. tom projected groundbreaking projects that proved were not parallel against extreme weather, such as the limbs back organic farm. on the done us back hill arranged in highland fights founded by young people. but it relies on watcher and that's in short supply up here. jeanine harbor works to ensure the soil as as permeable as possible, so long as it can still absorb watcher akin with and extreme rainfall fluctuations . that doesn't fit in the gap as you know, like your anal stock. uh huh. i saw in 2014 the with severe flooding hair in the region that caused 1000000 was worth of damage for the marshal back stream overflow . it was could be the most of the areas around it all agricultural feels that are compacted and where the water can't see pin easily, and the soil is homeless deficient. moving on, flooding sweeps away the entire top soil and entire villages are hit by mudslide

alpha buffington. the young organic farmers are planning to revitalize their land using a special technique. first, they analyzed local rainfall patterns. up in the blue lines on the chart show in which direction the rainfall is likely to flow. jeanine harbor and her colleague have drawn red lines where they plan to dig ditches that will help distribute the watcher across the farmland. this technique is called key line water management of as you can, but they're concerned about the amount of red in their chart which indicates just how try the region is. ah, they're keen to show us how effective their strategy is against why they're extremes. first they use a how to take their ditches before switching 10 excavator they

want to test how the key line water system works. they take their trenches with a slight gradient 1.5 percent to prevent large volumes of water from flowing too fast. i have some an experiment on average z and we're conducting an experiment to illustrate how the water that a mass is during heavy rainfall. aventis can be distributed over the area and conceit incident it she is laid according to the killer line system. if instead of flowing down the slope guaranteed and causing flooding in the valleys and calmed on the to zang funding for an interval got water from the top, a graphical depression we're a collects could be diverted to the mouth. so where the ground is dr. office, google just doesn't do talking, spin owned jeanine harbor uses the water tank and a hose to stimulate heavy rainfall. come

a mark. many flight, obviously rain as moth localize. but the experiment shows that the ditch absorbs the artificial down were as planned for the water. then flows along the key line towards the elevation. mm it looks simple, but it's an intelligent way for farming to adjust to the challenges of climate change or heavy rain fall and drought don't just adversely affect rural regions. but urban areas to villages, towns and cities also, nita just says weather experts fan trigger the problem is not to really out just stuck on implants if must equal to find his own global for ziegler problem,

of course, is that cities and surrounding areas are very different because cities are built out at the close, daddy show that heat waves in the likes of cologne at frankfort line, make them 9 degrees hotter than surrounding areas of cities such as cosgra are also likely to see a significant increase in temperature. that's when this poses an additional problem dam. it effectively makes the city a completely different climates on that. so we need to think about how we can make cities greener and less dry iowa with more greenery, more water cooling by evaporation to curve extreme hate. these extreme hits of ugly to david urban planners and cas were, are already looking at ways the city can tackle climate change. one of their 1st projects is the redesign of the plaza site. the main station is set to become much greener, which will not only make it more attractive, but also help protect the city from getting too hot. intellect didn't get this

lands. mr. phillips was eager to our cities are very built up. but the idea is that instead of being drained off to rivers by leading to flooding, water is retained in the cities a flashlight. that's what's called a sponge city. that meant man, i had a family that 1000000 auto as a landscape architect and urban planner. his munich base team was awarded to re design contract. construction is about to begin down. mm hm. yeah. it's a target love to another them on. we're experiencing more very hot days on that, but also more heavy rainfall by lunch off. that's problematic enough in the countryside, raymond, but it's even more extreme in the cities on the face come in and get unbearably hot in cities like causal were in the rhine valley in time, we have to call down our cities and at the same time, mitigate the heavy rain for which is becoming more frequent and retain the water in the cities up. some is on the flutter, so it's so high. trees,

fountains and miss spray will help cool the plaza father walkways are permeable. water is a key design element. well if needed quick, we need to use every project to boost water retention in cities for plants, for cooling purposes, explaining, we need to convert cities to what's called green and blue infrastructure to him cause coin adopting the sponge that he concept to meet the climate change challenges of the future to innovation is essential. forester band had hamburger in the san vite is also looking for creative ways of maximizing water retention. just like roy on auto and kassawa, his name is to capture, distribute, and use watcher as efficiently as possible. mm. that then tried to buy these and

my number is that we can now either from what is crucial, is that we make the call function of the forest or the focus of our efforts with user to boost water attention and increase its sponge function. vicodin, v can nod, is a shameful to on shy gun. ah, there are grounds for optimism. we just need to adapt to changing weather patterns . that's what pounds, buck mayor frank harsh tells people as he tours germany, raising awareness of flash blood was revived. this morning. we need action and improvement across the board don't joined us. he said, i do believe that can work but a lot needs to happen before people like yoga and and marianna ballman are safe from the threat of flooding. and the villages have been top walk, pounced. bah and elsewhere, after a lot of hard work,

the couple have almost finished rebuilding their home. yes, finally, we're making progress and we'll see if we dive in. the under floor heating has just been installed. mm. now the $1000000.00 question. where will the couch go to? not mine, are you asking me or my wife will leave that to them to figure out now, but the couple did agree on tiling the floor tiles are more water resistant, just in case. ah i can't get more middle ages glenville. duca stagger dives into the past and takes us to our food. a gem spectacular, medieval site. visitors flocked to the capital of their india to see the longest
