More than 180 people in Belgium and Germany didn't survive the massive flooding that crashed through parts of Western Europe on Wednesday and Thursday
Paul and Madeline Brasseur were at home with their two sons in the Belgian town of Pepinster when the water “came all of a sudden” late in the event. It "was like a tsunami,” the way it entered the house and kept rising instead of retreating, said Mr. Paul Brasseur, 42. The family went upstairs and kept seeking safety during the night as the water climbed steadily below them. They ended up on the roof, watching.More Related News
