When nature strikes


Piled up cars in Jungingen, south western Germany. A thunderstorm with heavy rainfalls severely damaged parts of the village. A severe storm unleashed heavy rains and flash floods on southwestern Germany overnight on June 3, 2008 killing three women and injuring more than 10 people, police said Tuesday. Police said a normally quiet stream that runs through the Killertal, which means "killer valley" in German, in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg became choked with rainwater and morphed into a raging river on Monday evening. (Suonds pretty much like what happened in Mumbai in July 2005 when the Mithi river was choked)
