Germany and the impact of extreme weather | DW Documentary

Whole areas washed away by the floods, entire villages wiped out, houses destroyed. More than 160 people have died. Despite excellent infrastructure and sound disaster relief, the effects of extreme weather on Germany are devastating.
On the night of 15 July, storms destroyed whole swaths of land in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. Shortly afterwards, heavy rain ravaged Bavaria and wreaked havoc in the Netherlands, Austria, and Belgium. Only in the days that followed did the full extent of the catastrophe become apparent.
Now, people are returning to their homes, or what’s left of them. They are overwhelmed by their own helplessness and by the force and speed with which entire livelihoods have been wiped out. Now, the big cleanup begins-which will take years. How are people in the affected regions coping?

I watched this and thought, "now imagine this EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE; what would you do THEN?" cuz that's MY Life in a nazi state called Amerikkka where police sexually assault us or rob us or beat us or kill us EVERY DAY. They've stolen thousands of dollars from me over and over bc they can and I have no rights of any kind. Police protect EVERY con man businessman, every pedo priest, etc. BUT THEN I HEARD MERKEL SAY "THE PEOPLE ARE ALL WORKING TOGETHER and that's great" and I realized, oh, that's the OPPOSITE OF MY LIFE. Even my best friends helped then-Mayor Giuliani JAIL AND TORTURE ME, for instance. It's incomprehensible. Even my own editors at the newspapers I wrote for would not permit me to tell anyone about the RAIDS ON MY APARTMENTS by AMerikkkan Gestapo for political cartoons i drew! 47 times they've jailed me for speech in Amerikkka. (ex: I got two years jail just for mocking a former friend's hairdo in a mass email! The Judge said that was NOT FREE SPEECH!!! The Appeals Court said that judge was a psycho and so he was promoted as usual.) And even the ACLU and 100% of free speech lovers have turned their back on me all 47 times. Even 100% of my best friends, bandmates etc. (I was even jailed 6 days for playing uke!) I've been jailed on FICTIONAL charges like ATTEMPTED contempt of court and ATTEMPTED harassment of City Hall...and not one earthling will help me! "MY" attys are even dirtier than the dirty police and prosecutors and judges and journalists are! AT LEAST IN ALL THESE OTHER DISASTERS, the govt and the press CARE ABOUT YOU. But if you're just another civilian being beaten or robbed or jailed falsely by police, no one cares. (Unless it goes viral.)

[@charonstyxferryman]

You : "I cannot imagine how your life can change so badly within minutes" I had tried that. Horrible feeling, loosing everything you own to a fire in a few minutes. You become homeless in only a few minutes. The guilty was a company which did a roof maintenance job that involved tar on the roof top.. One of the workers, though he was smart. He prepared the entire roof top for the final step in the construction of the partially new roof top. The building materials are tar and top-roof-cardboard, which has to be melted together. Now he had a 25 meters by 40 meters of highly flammable material to melt together using a gas burner like the one used to burn weed. What could possibly go wrong? Just like 3 nearby and identical building where the fire was successfully extinguished, because the surface area they worked on was small, he successfully ignited a fire on our roof-top too. Half of the building got destroyed by water. A firefighter told me that there was a 20 cm deep stream at the top-most floor. He told me they needed to soak the roof and the entire roof top in water to extinguish the fire. The builder used an employee with no training, and no experience - it could basically be a random guy from the street - so it wasn't his fault, but the owner of company's fault.

@@amberlight5830 It's weird, usually we get a lot of flood incidences every year. Landslides, flash floods and strong winds are common during typhoon season. So far the weather has been stranger than usual, 2 weeks of constant rain but in sporadic bursts. Strong rain, sun, strong rain, sun, it cycles every hour. Usually we get nonstop rain/drizzle for 1-4 days. Then hot sun for a week or two before another typhoon hits.

[@paulsdancing5429]

Kathleen McCormick...Now that this generation of Germans has experienced a major disaster for the first time, it is hoped that they will join in mass the anti war movement. Put the resources into research on how to tackle and prevent increasing weather disasters world wide. The anti - war movement must become the dominant force in all the countries of the world. Germany could not only be, but should be, the first country to lead the anti war movement. Plan of action: Send American occupation forces home. Remove all nuclear arms from Germany. Dismantle NATO. Convene at the United Nation a World Disarmament Conference. Resources saved from disarmament to be used for a joint world effort to tackle Natural Disasters. If Germany speaks OUT the World will Listen and Follow. Good Luck a Peace Loving Slavic Canadian.

But really is inspiring to see Humans pulling together in such an unpredictable disaster and all of the people that are helping are amazing.
