That Town is 800+ years old and occasionly gets flooded, so what?
I have even less sympathy for people who build cardboard houses in hurricane zones, the big bad wolf can blow those houses away, what did you expect?
Maybe because it is a sign of climate change. Yes they get flodded occasionly, but they are prepared for such situations. But this time it was so extrem quick that nobody could do anything. Lots of citiies, towns are in forrests and beside rivers, but all can tell you, the cadence bewteen extrem situations gets smaller and smaller.
That's bs. I don't know about your country, but in Germany, floods got recorded for centuries. In old books, on buildings, on monuments. We know about unusually cold winters and extreme summers. There are even paintings picturing extreme events.
And 800 year old buildings getting destroyed by a flood are a pretty big record of no flooding like this for at least 800 years.
