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
