I happened to have a few friends living in Belgium and Netherlands along the River Meuse which was hopelessly flooded through the week I am sure many of you saw on the national news if not international news like FRANCE 24 or BBC.

Especially the flooding through Liege/Belgium where the family of my closest friend, the late Prof. Marcel Beaujean lives made me worry so that I tried to reach through the week desperately but failed with such despair.

Indeed, through Marcel, I learned so much about Belgium and Netherlands including the relationship with Germany through WWII and I still remember Marcel took me to the bank of River Meuse to show/explain empathically how Belgians resisted to Nazi army when they invaded the area first. We drove around such a beautiful river valley on way to Spa to enjoy nature. But now this flooding wiped out everything- see the attached photos- and I have no access for the communication with them and even telephone lines are still cut off now.

So sad to watch helplessly!!!!
