Flooding in Germany
On the news there are reports of very severe flooding in Germany. I know that the flooding has impacted our fellow Ford Barn friend Werner's wife's business.
Hoping for the very best for Werner, his family and fellow countrymen.

Re: Flooding in Germany
A terrible situation. Let us offer our prayers of comfort to those stricken, as we do here
each spring in the U.S. with our floodings.

Re: Flooding in Germany
Geez Brad! Was that your A? Where are you in Germany? I have friends in Bonn and am very concerned for them.

Re: Flooding in Germany
Here's a different screen-grab of that flood damaged Model A in Germany. Looks like a Phaeton......and quite restorable:

Re: Flooding in Germany
Guten Abend Mitmenschen!
We had very, very luck and got off safely, because we are living on a high area. Electricity, water and i-Net are partially available again. Others have lost their factories and homes, and many have lost their only live! My wife's company for hydraulic clamping nuts has been completely destroyed, all milling machines, boring machines, lathes, computers and files have been destroyed. The people here help a lot and well. The Bundeswehr, Air Force, Army Aviators with CH 53, Aid Organizations and the Red Cross etc. are bringing drinking water, food and dry clothes. I myself wash the homeless people's dirty laundry all days. There is a strong smell of mold and heating oil. - btw.: On the above showed photo the Ford lived in the district "Ahrweiler" (license plate "AW"). This very little place has hardest hit, 130 dead, 150 missing. Thanks to Dave Crosscut for his attention!

Re: Flooding in Germany
Werner, You should be getting much needed help by now. A singular, tragic event. Your service to others will help you each day.
