More than 30 people have died and dozens were missing Thursday in Germany and Belgium after heavy flooding turned streams and streets into raging torrents that swept away cars and caused houses to collapse. She pledged that everything would be done to find those still missing, adding: "'Heavy rain and flooding' doesn't capture what happened." A collapsed sign is seen next to a river at a flood-affected area, following heavy rainfalls, in Schuld, Germany. In northeastern France, heavy rains flooded vegetable fields, many homes and a First World War museum in Romagne-sous-Montfaucon. The Aire River rose to its highest levels in 30 years in some areas, according to local newspaper L'Est Republicain.
