Hi I live in a very small town (containing 5 streets, a church, Pub and a postal office) the North East part of Belgium and yesterday morning I was going to the Gym.
But there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain fall that morning which started during the night. So I couldn't get out of the town. Every exit road was flooded by mudstreams. There was over 50 cm per cm2. In 2 hours there was more rain that normally would fall in a month. Sewers couldn't handel it and streets and basements were flooded. My neighbours had much damage, but we only had minor water on ours. (very lucky)
I did return to my home to get my camera, but by the time I got back the Fire fighers and Army were blocking the road. So I just went home and helped my neighbour with sandbags. When the rain was over there was 20 cm of mud on the streets.
here are some pics that i took from the News site:
