Guten Tag,
You have probably seen something about a flood in
Germany on the news I guess. As life goes thats the
city I live in (Ahrweiler). Water levels increased by 8
meters within a few hours and nobody was expecting
anything close. We had a „flood of the century“ back
in 2016 but then water only went up by a little over
3 meters. So this was something we have never seen
before anywhere in Germany. Luckily my belongings
are mostly unaffected. Got my car to safety in the
last possible moment as it was already engulfed in
water. My apartment is on the 2nd floor so thats fine
too.
Im 2 weeks without electricity so far thats why you
havent seen me kick your asses on the Freon
server yet (writing from phone). Just wanted to
let you know Im alive and well. Not sure if anyone
knew where I lived until now. Gonna add a few
pictures I took on the morning after the flood
This is the street I live in (my apartment is in the
house on the center of the picture). I couldnt even
get back inside after I got my car to safety. So I
spent the night watching Basketball on my phone
in my car
You can see the max water level on
the house walls.
This one is taken from my window at like 10 am
after I could finally get back inside. Water levels
were down by at least 2 meters already at that
point.
It took me a long while to notice that car in the
bushes in front of my window. I dont know whose
car that is and if the owner has found it already
Heres also a video that shows the valley I live in
