We just got our power back today, it's been off since Saturday due to flooding...we had no idea how bad the flood damage was in other places, and feel so lucky now. Thinking about everyone affected...

Amazing. At a loss for words faced with the power of nature.

Horrific and such terrible timing being right by Christmas.

Merry Christmas! I am right now in Ireland with water being let out of dam and the park is now part of the river. 2015 = Europe's worst year ever

[@akrosztikon]

+Richard Unitt Sure. Europe's worst year ever. Do you even history, man?

+Richard Unitt I see to recall a few wars in the past that devastated the lives of millions of people. But let's just forget about that.

Hello people of the past, don't worry, 2016 had 2015 covered

[@richardunitt4864]

Now that I think about it 1347 was much worse than 2015.

I was stupid last year.
