Several dead and dozens missing in catastrophic flooding across western Europe 42 die as houses collapse after the Ahr river bursts its banks near Bonn
At least 42 people have died in Germany and dozens were missing on Thursday as record rainfall in western Europe caused rivers to burst their banks, swept away homes and flooded cellars.
Eighteen people died and dozens were missing around the wine-growing region of Ahrweiler, in Rhineland-Palatinate state, police said, after the Ahr river that flows into the Rhine rose and brought down half a dozen houses.

Another 15 people died in the Euskirchen region south of the city of Bonn, authorities said. In Belgium, two men died due to the torrential rain and a 15-year-old girl was missing after being swept away by a swollen river.
The death toll in Belgium has risen to at least 11, according to Belgian reports.
Continuing rain is forecast for parts of the west, where water levels in the Rhine river and its tributaries are rising dangerously. Authorities in the Rhine-Sieg county in North Rhine-Westphalia ordered the evacuation of several villages below the Steinbach reservoir amid fears a dam could break.
Malu Dreyer, the governor of Rhineland-Palatinate state, told the regional parliament: âThere are people dead, there are people missing, there are many who are still in danger ⦠We have never seen such a disaster. Itâs really devastating.â
