Fortunately for me I'm in Munich the opposite corner from the flooding.
There is a lot of coverage, surprise.
The region got about double the amount of rain for July,
in 48 hours. What a tragedy.
They measure rainfall differently here. In liters per square meter.
1 liter = 0,1 centimeter and 10 liters is 1 cm. 2.5 cm = 1 inch
We are having a wet July in Munich. Can't find a site with daily totals so I don't really know if we are high or low still.
