We had some record-breaking rainfall
The Highway had to be closed.
Bad idea to take your bike to get to work this morning.

Friendly reminder that flood waters usually end up mixing with overflowing sewerage. Please do not swim or walk in them if you can avoid it.

If only there was something we could have done
Gardaddy
Damn how everyone you care about is safe. I'm sure there were injuries bc of this
BrunoQuattro
As far as I know nobody was hurt, just lots of invonvenience and property damage.

#7 that Dorfinstallateur is at fault! He brought way too much water.

Stay safe!

Thank god global warming isn’t real. Wait. What?
DrainingSideEffectsOfRestlessSleep
Locally we have the "Stupid Motorist Law" - ignore flood signs & you'll be liable for rescue expenses. Hope everyone's ok.

#3 Just in case people in Austria don't know. It's a bad idea to drive through this. A small amount of moving water can push your car away

We have our share amount of idiots who think they can do it

Probably not the best day to put a shrimp on the Barbie, huh?

I am so glad global warming is just a load of hooey, otherwise I'd be rather disconcerted /s

#9 Let me park my car under this bridge - so it's secured from this heavy rain...

More like: I can get through this. It's only a small puddle

Last pic. Did all those cars just die at once, or was there some hint to approaching vehicles that the water was a little too deep.
MoeMoep
Often when people see this, they think they can cross it with their car. Don't try that if you do t have a raised air intake.

Welcome to the new normal. Now get a watershed map and start calculating the maximum coming your way in the worst case

I realize this is hyperbole, but it sure seems like every river on earth is either drying up or flooding.

Don't look up.

Calling car insurance: "Is my car insured against being hit by animals?" "Yes, what animal did you hit?" "... a fish. On land."

If the water comes up on the land, then it’s still in water

People are so hysterical about climate change, the weather has always changed! /s
rmmmm
The people saying this should be upfront in the storms and floods and heatwaves.

"Youre still coming in to work, right" - manager probably

Long time ago I was delivering pizza and there was a flash flood. Called manager to say I had to pull over and he wanted me to at least 1

Deliver the pizza that I was already out on because the customer was calling complaining.

"You will deliver that pizza even if it cost you your life!!!! And don't expect any tips" - Capitalism.

Another good one was when COVID first started they weren’t doing masks, so I asked if I could wear one. They told me no because it would 1

Look bad for to customers. I quit and shortly after masks were mandatory.

Hey could you send some of that up to Germany? Danke!

I think most of these pictures are from Germany, one year ago. There are German descriptions, at least.
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
What language do they use in Austria? (And even some parts of Italy next to the border of Austria)
Idontneedrealfacts
be careful what you wish for
FetaForMoses
Yes we’re probably facing som flash floods. That’s why I kindly requested *some* rain.
WhoNeedsToiletPaperAnywayEh
Politicans plan to cut 158 million Euro from disaster prevention for 2023 here in Germany. So, yes, please do. They might learn something...
HellooooNurse
If you could spare some for South Western US we'd take whatever we can get...
MoeMoep
We did have flash floods last year. Don't want any again this soon.
FetaForMoses
That was terrible yes. Happened not too far from here. But still it’s very dry here.
MoeMoep
I live in a sweet spot location right now. Has been lightly raining for the last 1 1/2 day. Ground is able to soak it up. ?
FetaForMoses
It drizzled last night. But the sun is out in full effect, evaporating all of it. Shit we need rain.
MoeMoep
Hooray for climate change? We have fucked up our planet real bad. ?
LurkerOfDarkness
Just be patient, a lot of that water is on its way, after a drought you want smaller portions over a few weeks to soften the ground first.
gandraw
Lake Constance went up by 15 cm in 48 hours, that should eventually trickle down.
mercyPandaRunner
There already has been flooding in Bavaria this week. Dry soil meets water. Can't sink in. > Flood.
ElroydIsGone
Ironically, that's exactly where these waters will go, from Vorarlberg right into the Bodensee and further down the Rhine.
theschnubbeldidupp
We have already 2 days of harsh rain in south germany - be careful with your wishes - we don't need no new flashflood

Me too, and then thought #5 doesn't look Australian ... and then the Dorfinstallateur hit home.

So this is where the water from the river Loire went!
VaultGirl69
Climate change is going to hit an undeniable point. We are already too far gone to avoid catastrophe. Another serious issue ignored.

And the Rhein

That's exactly where these floods will drain to, btw...

I'm quite sure, that at least some British dialects do indeed bless the Rhines down in Africa... ;-)
