Is Germany OK?

I couldn't find a thread about this, so apologies if it's a repost. But apparently Germany just suffered a massive once-in-a-thousand-years flood?

I was away camping without cell service and this was the first news story that popped up when I got back.

Can someone check in on Packard?

I mentioned this in the PNW Baked (...pun intended) thread, and changed the Political Meme thread title to match

Verviers, Liége, Belgium got fucking drowned

I don't know what either of those sentences mean, but they both sound sad.

So do we have to ban packard so we can have some people search and find out about him?

Germany, Belgium and The Dutch Province of Limburg are a bit flooded yeah...

Sorry, I know you understand the reasoning for this, but just thought it relevant to point out once in a thousand year events are no longer once in a thousand years. We are seeing many of those events, repeatedly now, because of climate change.

Good call. I wish I knew how.

@Aurora check in

Austria is south. The flooding is northern Germany and Belgium. The Netherlands may have some too.

Bavaria and Austria (Packard and Aurora) have seen some flooding now, but nowhere near as disasterous as in the west. Apart from Jan Jansen in Switzerland, that's all current German speaking WFers I'm aware of (apart from myself, who'd have been far away from the flood even if I wasn't in Spain right now).

This is probably only funny if you speak German: https://mobile.twitter.com/Erdkadse/status/1415751684635123721

Didn't Chamberlain have a de weaponised peacetime version?
