Last night we had a thunderstorm and it rained very heavily.. This resulted into floods everywhere in Berlin.
In our neighbourhood the Pragerplatz was full of water. The pond wasn’t even to be recognized, all cellars of the houses around the place were full of water. In some of them the water was about 1 meter (39.4 inches) high.
One part of our house cellar got some water as well, and ofcourse it was the part where we temporary store our stuff because of the renovation. So at 11 pm last night we were moving boxes from one side to the other side of the cellar. Fortunately the 2 cellars we normally use were dry. There I stored all my stuff I took with me from Holland.
The damage was not super big, unfortunately a box filled with Ricos records got wet and a box filled with his cd’s. Also some pics of mine got wet…

The other day Rico and I went to the biggest footballfanparty in Germany (the fanmiles between the Siegesseule and the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin) to watch the game Netherlands vs. Ivory Coast. Silvio (Ricos brother) works there as a security guard so we brought him sandwiches and watched the game at his tower.
Unfortunately due to very bad weather predictions (a summer thunder storm) we had to go home before the end of the game, because it could get dangerous. The big videoscreens were turned of and the organisation feared the towers of the videoscreens could come down in the storm.
We managed to get home at the same time as the storm started. We will try again next Wednesday as Holland plays vs. Argentina…
