Floods in Germany, disaster declared
By DPA
Hamburg : An 82-year-old woman drowned when her basement apartment suddenly filled with water as torrential rain caused flooding in parts of Germany early Sunday.
A state of disaster was declared in two regions of the southern state of Bavaria close to the city of Nuremberg.
Police said choked streams burst their banks and the waters, in many places a metre and a half deep, invaded homes and caused underground home-heating oil tanks in yards to float free of the soil.
