the crisis management team of bud neu in our av islas, district or authority met. the district head could have sound of the alarm then, but he didn't miss holmes this done. and then, and in the evening and the night to law for as long as mobile radio and cellular service kept working, emergency calls poured in kazama, who are not here after once we realized that many people were out on their roof, asked con, which for when the whole night, there were no helicopters thus far. that was an awful night, and no anna, sham enough to day by guns has taken over as the new administrative head of the av . i'll a district if needed. she can declare a state of emergency herself 6 pm on july 14th 2021. in north rine westphalia, the rain was coming down harder than ever. rineback was plunged into chaos as flash

i'm comes in to decent loudly this incredible amounts of rain. have to pass through these confined spaces and just look at the valleys with their bottlenecks. then bernoulli's principle comes into play bottom with lots of water must pass through a narrow space directly. only way to get that amount through is to increase its speed filtering, which leads to these torrential flood waters. as that they went so high that trees were approved to ayla from parts of buildings broke off and were washed away with the river. meet them then comes the 1st bridge, dorna called everything gets clogged up from the forest, grow stronger macalucio. so this combination of things and that was decisive as father and child 7 p. m. at the ar, viola districts crisis center they'd yet to feel the floods impact. the alarm signals from schulte and alton are never arrived. as digital phone and radio networks had gone down, the district administrator met with rhineland for latin,

its interior minister who left the meeting thinking the situation was under control . so no warning went out to the local population, who still would have had time to get to safety it was guns early, sung. i honestly have to say that our district administrator completely mishandled things. issue ralph, my queues, him of not reacting properly even though he had been given enough early warning about this at the time, altenor water level gauge, read 3.92 meters, but the number just kept rising just before 8 pm. the state environmental offers up to its projection to 5.3 meters. entire holmes floated down the ar. the river rose to more than 8 meters, and shoot went under manager. i'm that night you can see the village dying a slow, dazzling, stopped. now there was nothing anyone could do. the volunteer

ah, luckily anousch bo didn't have to look far. so kind of sites, there was no time to be cheesy. so we were quite lucky to get this place. houghton, this is a mining region and they were set to begin excavating here. otherwise it certainly wouldn't have been standing entity, but that's how we found accommodations they fall into to come. the flood left its mark on the horses to them either the foyer both, all right, if that they don't take much notice by and that many he used to be alone for now. he no longer want to be alone. as a socialist, they'll start to call one another to winnie. and when one horse leaves, yeah, they get much louder and vicky men and can no longer be alone in the store, which never used to be a problem when taking other horses out of the house more and more don't want to be on there. i mean, he does a light in his malloy july 15th 2021658

reverse, run before me, vegetable oh, by the water rose within 2nd to one and a half meter. my can written to get away and is that men stood on the bridge of luxembourg street and saw drivers lying on the roof of their trucks and waving andy and resort in a garden. and it's not over yet to into the, our valley was a scene of devastation. there was no way of reaching the area by road. in the morning, 4 deaths were reported. more than a 1000 people were missing. that's her services just in the meantime and scored the household hauled out house, susan, because one over there has really been the in the way. it's a wonder were so last name, either 50 people were still stranded on their roof tops. after waiting the whole night for helicopters,

that never came. but in the morning the police and the german military flu, constant rescue missions in dan out to become the ones that they came down in pairs. and one son and heir lifted the 4 of us up to the vineyard on 15 minute vine back diseased. as of his knife, we just hung from the cable that dropped us off, picked up the next ones at the attack. and i'm free. i was just carried over by helicopter. he has been so what knows, i started running right away in my socks as a 1st to my husband. after i looked for him and ran to him calling, you're not, you're not busy than i cried in his arm sign in. handling rescue is searched. the survivors everywhere,

look, and standing up there, i said in our vision is, will do it is muffled us 18 meters below the water line. that then 67 year old unblocked the outlet with his digger, knowing that the dam could burst at any time. shop is at the bush. i said it one bright, can it didn't we were lucky bug replaced. i was so happy that the folks who hadn't been able to or couldn't help themselves, could now be freed from then on with every passing hour, a water would drain away, reducing the risk of a damn break, just a dumb bush. in the meantime, if start was being evacuated, 15000 firefighters and emergency responders were on duty. still the situation was growing worse by the minute a dam had been holding back much of the

water, but now it had been breached a huge gravel quarry. on the edge of town was deluged by the aft. the sides of the piece eroded and slid down, creating a giant sink hole. early in the morning, on july 16th the rim of the gravel quarry collapsed, taking several buildings along with it. part of the riding arena also plunged into the abyss. jake, my husband got up and yelled, come look astrid, the front of that buildings gone and honestly the other homes. yeah. oh, gonna ha vague at the time? no one knew if there were people in those houses the next morning on the b, 265 near after that rescue workers searched for possible victims. but all the drivers and passengers had managed to escape

miraculously, every one survived, the collapse at the gravel quarry. but 69 people perished in bud noah alone. altogether, the floods claimed the lives of 184 people in rhineland planet, unauthorized westphalia. once the flood waters receded, the big, clean up began. help came from all across germany, homes, sellers and streets were all full of sludge that reeked of oil and human waste. thousands of people travel to the affected areas. then it started with the barkeeper gates and these really young people who were
