Your Tuesday Briefing Image Flooding death toll rises The death toll from days of devastating flooding in western Europe has climbed to at least 196 across the region, even as European authorities revised down the number of people missing. More than 700 people have now been identified as safe after days of uncertainty, the police in Cologne, Germany, said late on Sunday. As the floodwaters have retreated, officials in the region have begun asking questions about how the brutal storm, accurately predicted by forecasters earlier in the week, could have led to such a significant loss of life. Flooding experts noted a likely disconnect between the forecasts and alert systems that communicated the level of risk to residents.
