Inferno of Floods/ Höllenfluten/ Infierno De Inundaciones

Inferno of Floods/ Höllenflut/ Infierno de inundaciones Inferno of floods After heavy rain in the mountains Furious and unexpected Death toll in muddy water And nature will strike again ----------------------------------------------- Inferno der Fluten Nach starkem Regen in den Bergen Wütend und unerwartet Todesopfer in schlammigem Wasser Die Natur wird wieder zuschlagen ----------------------------------------------- Infierno de inundaciones Después de lluvia pesada en las montañas Furioso e inesperado Víctimas en el agua fangoso Y la naturaleza golpeará otra vez ----------------------------------------------- Note: We had heavy flooding on August 7-8th, 2010 in Saxony three people drowned and even more in Poland and the Czech Republic

Dear Gert, the photos you sent me of the floods were frightening. I'm so glad you didn't get hurt on your trek to the grocery store. I am sad to hear that lives were lost. That happens often when hurricanes strike the US Southeastern states. Sorry I missed seeing this one earlier, Gert. I was on the road the day you posted it. I hope nature is kinder to your country in the coming months. Love always, Carolyn

Sorry to hear of the bad weather conditions with resulting deaths...When I first started reading I was thinking of something that I saw and hear maybe read on internet about this happening in China recently ...I guess that this must happen everywhere in the world where people build in certain type of hills,etc..Thanks for stopping by and reading my work and commenting..Much appreciated..Sara
