I am sorry for your trouble (Dresden?) especially with the books! The Napa river rises and I've sandbagged in Minnesota (Mississippi) and California! Of some use perhaps (and a large freezer!) http://www.heritagepreservation.org/savewetbooks/ don't toss anything yet!

Interesting.

Feel sorry for your books, but judging by the last talk we had about relics from history and how they're nothing but raw material to be melted down and sold, I'd think that books are nothing but firestarters for you.

As a book collector myself, I am so sorry about your book loss.

MS is Münster, yes.
As a former Osnabrücker, I know that city well.

Poor books... but could have been worse.
Imagine all the pr0n would be gone too.

The south copped a similar treatment here, some impressive convective build-up over the other side of the channel. Been a fairly decent season for storms so far, unfortunately for me but fortunately for the dog (who hates storms) most of them have missed us.

The whole city took a heavy beating. And it stinks. I worked all night and morning, now am tired like a dog, but cannot sleep. But we got the water out, I could organise a pump at midnight that took the battle to the enemy, so to speak, and from 3 am on the water levels started to slowly go back. Status in our house therefore is much better again than in most others who were effected - and that were several thousands. Worst weather in Münster remembered in historic recordings. Cellar has been emptied, stockpiles of garbage everywhere. Now the rooms must dry.
