The latter now serves to minimize the damage of this catastrophe with more than 100 deaths. With the now more brown than yellow rubber boots, the resident pushes the remaining tough, slippery mass from the edge into the pit and comments resignedly:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-ugb-blockquote ugb-blockquote ugb-54370ee ugb-blockquote--v3 ugb-blockquote--design-highlight ugb-main-block ugb--has-custom-content-width ugb--has-custom-content-width-mobile\"><style>.ugb-54370ee .ugb-blockquote__quote{width:70px !important;height:70px !important}.ugb-54370ee .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}.ugb-54370ee.ugb-blockquote > .ugb-inner-block{max-width:43% !important}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.ugb-54370ee.ugb-blockquote > .ugb-inner-block{max-width:70% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-blockquote__item\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" class=\"ugb-blockquote__quote\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\"><path d=\"M19.8 9.3C10.5 11.8 4.6 17 2.1 24.8c2.3-3.6 5.6-5.4 9.9-5.4 3.3 0 6 1.1 8.3 3.3 2.2 2.2 3.4 5 3.4 8.3 0 3.2-1.1 5.8-3.3 8-2.2 2.2-5.1 3.2-8.7 3.2-3.7 0-6.5-1.2-8.6-3.5C1 36.3 0 33.1 0 29 0 18.3 6.5 11.2 19.6 7.9l.2 1.4zm26.4 0C36.9 11.9 31 17 28.5 24.8c2.2-3.6 5.5-5.4 9.8-5.4 3.2 0 6 1.1 8.3 3.2 2.3 2.2 3.4 4.9 3.4 8.3 0 3.1-1.1 5.8-3.3 7.9-2.2 2.2-5.1 3.3-8.6 3.3-3.7 0-6.6-1.1-8.6-3.4-2.1-2.3-3.1-5.5-3.1-9.7 0-10.7 6.6-17.8 19.7-21.1l.1 1.4z\"><\/path><\/svg><div class=\"ugb-blockquote__content\"><p class=\"ugb-blockquote__text\">The water is gone, the mud has remained.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>He grabs the wheelbarrow and pushes it back to the house.

A collapsed bridge, on the other side a broken federal highway. On the still intact traffic bridge, a volunteer stops with the motorcycle and takes a few minutes for the first time to let the experience sink in. He tells how he had rescued police officers from the flooded main road just a few hours earlier &#x2013; when it was still there. He does not pause for a long time, the mission waits.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even in the city centre of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, the streets are still muddy. In the marketplace, volunteers distribute food, drink, clothes. Meanwhile, the residents put their destroyed belongings on the market square for collection, pump out cellars, try to get rid of the mud from their living space. Anyone who walks through the city center here looks into expressionless faces and empty eyes. People who function. Who may therefore not have been able to comprehend the extent yet. Reflecting on what has happened &#x2013; there has been no time, no air yet.
