Terrible weather has hit parts of western Europe.
The area experienced a huge amount of rain, between 100 and 150 millimetres, in just two days.
This level of rainfall is normal over two months.
The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany were all very badly hit.
In particular, places with small rivers were not protected.
The huge amount of water caused rivers to flood areas close by them.
The flooding has seriously damaged many towns and many people are injured or missing.
It has caused over 200 deaths.
The rain fell extremely fast.
People had no opportunity to escape.
Now, communities are working together.
The government is trying to reopen flooded roads to provide support.
One reason for the disaster is probably climate change.
Experts are warning that these events will take place more frequently as global heating increases.
