First time in something like a hundred years we had flooding like this in our country and I have to say, people are fucking idiots.
First we spend time going house to house notifying people to vacate the premises only to have to come back 8 hours later to fucking evacuate those morons by boat because they choose to stick around.
Some even complained about the risk of theft, after their property is flooded with 2 meters of water
We did save a lot of lives though, but I also think some bodies will turn up today as the water retreats. People apparently think it's a great idea to stick around inside the house when the water starts pouring in. There is no way to stop it, even if you can't go anywhere, the roof is better. We had heli's circling us as we were sailing around looking for people in a summerhouse area and around 3 am we just had to stop - we couldn't see anyone and we used thermal cameras.
I am guessing that our station alone evacuated around 60 people, at least 10 dogs and few cats.
My body is spent now lol
