Tragedies, one after the other, keep striking the world. After the pandemic, the forest fire, the rat infestation, and whatnot, there are floods in Germany now. The flood has been, for a lack of a better word, disastrous. It has left numerous dead, infrastructures in ruins, and many people are still missing.
Floods In Germany
As the water struck the German cities with full force, it created huge ditches in the middle of the road. Not to mention, how the streets were covered with fast-flowing water, restricting movement. Due to this, numerous people were unable to get to safety. In the pictures surfacing, it is clear that they sought refuge in hurry at any high altitude they could find, in hopes that ‘their’ building would not be swept with the water.

Videos and pictures of Germany reshared on social media
The people stuck, started making videos and shared them on social media. Those videos began going viral. We have compiled the videos that will jerk you awake at the tragedy of the poor residents.
