Parts of Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany also flooded. It isn't like weather extremes didn't happen before, but it's best to brace for them getting more extreme and frequent.

Luxembourg too. In some cases, rivers went so high, they broke their old record levels by over 1M! Keep in mind that measurements had been made since the independence of our country in 1839, so it's not that those were set up only recently.

Thankfully, unlike in Belgium or Germany, nobody died here and damages are much more minor. But damn do some towns in Belgium and Germany look like warzones

And since BBC seems to forget Luxembourg despite it sitting on the center of their rain map:

It's more subdued here, but still massive.

This is exactly 8 km beeline from my place:

Already up to 100 deaths in Germany with over 1000 people still missing.
