High Water!


Here is a shocking picture of a bakery on the Rhein river in Basel. The waters are high and can be seen through the bullet-proof glass in the photo! The bakery installed the reinforced glass after being damaged in a previous flood.

We were lucky not to be affected much. There have been some train delays in the Eastern part of Switzerland, but not where I live which is on the 3-country border of Switzerland, Germany and France. Thank you to all of you who wrote to check in on us!

You can see more pictures of the Swiss flood here!

Am absolutely amazed by the height of the water...and the baker keeps on working!
Cool photography.

That is incredible to see the water rising that high through the windows. If I were the baker, I think I'd decide to go home for the day, pronto!
