I just experienced the most rainy day ever in my life. Parts of my hometown are without electric power, 10% of the streets and roads are flooded 20-40 cm, in my house the water has flooded the cellar 50 cm high. The cellar looks like a scene from Stalker.

Many books I stored there - ruined. A good amount of my library. I should say that for 14 years I live here, it has been a warm and dry place, nothing wrong to locate parts of your library down there. Some electric stuff and computer stuff as well.

Can all be replaced and repaired. Just the books -my heart is crying. Some no longer available titles are lost. Two hundred books maybe in all, some of them really costly and precious. I just had collected a number of books of American philosophers of the founding era over the past months - ruined. The half of my remaining library on Islamic history and scripture - ruined. And several dozen of German editions of SF novels from the 60-80 era, no longer available in German, for the most: ruined. Several thousand bucks gone for the books alone. And my thick and voluminous wonderful astronomy almanach. Bump.

Strangely, my second refrigerator - sat in the water 50 cm deep, happily humming on as if nothing was wrong.

Swimming festival out there on the street.

It has been the worst flooding and thunderstorm in the history of written weather records for this town. Blackouts still occassionally strike one fifth of households.

My books, especially the novels which have been for longer time with me than the others. I am so sad.
