Desc: Die Nacht, als die Flut kam: Protokoll einer Klimakatastrophe: Directed by Matthias Fuchs. On the night of 14-15 July 2021, the river in the Ahr Valley in western Germany experienced spectacular flooding, with the water level rising by over 7 meters. The floodwaters swept away cars and houses and caused the death of 135 people. Olivier Grieß was torn from his home by the raging waters after seeing the town's bridge give way. Friedhelm Jakobs, a fireman, clung to a cross on a grave for a night. Julian Dela is still reeling from the cries of distress he heard from his neighbors. In North Rhine-Westphalia and the Belgian border region, the damage is considerable. What has happened? Will natural disasters become the norm in Central Europe?
