That's media exaggeration for you. I live in Lower Saxony, at least two of the regions mentioned by the media quite often are quite close to me (Heidekreis and Celle).
Yes, there are floods, and dykes are soaked (which is nothing unusual - that's one part of their "job"), and some people still have water in their basements, but it's far away from "completely flooded". I was perfectly able to drive through the entire county of Celle today.
