Flooded

What a rainy summer we've had so far and it's not getting better any time soon, in fact it gets worse.

Coming home from work thinking of putting my legs up enjoying the rest of the day with my Dad and Tobi who also had a busy day at our house which we are renovating, I was wrong.

Anyway, arriving at home by taking more turns than usual because of streets are actually under water, the full extent of the flooded cellar is showing up and we are trying to save what we can. Well, not much could be saved as it was raining all day. Sadly, gone is the set of suitcases which I had for more than 15 years. According to the news more than 240 Liters of rainfall per square meter landed in just a couple of hours here in Oranienburg, which is a city close to Berlin. 

To make the best out of this situation, we decided to get some takeaway from the Turkish Kebab around the corner and we walked through the rain.....even singing in the rain. To be honest, it wasn't cold....just wet but it didn't bother us...we had fun. To finish this post, around midnight the fire brigade rang the bell to check if we still have water in the cellar which needs to be pumped out, that's how busy they were and they continued all night till morning to get the water out of people's houses.
