Can't seem to find any weather reports...how bad is the
flooding in Southern Germany? Are the roads safe? How are
Munich and Garmisch? Awaiting reply.

The flooding is the worst one for more than a century and if
there were no lakes in the south of Bavaria, it would have
been even worse.
Garmisch was not accessible overland for two days. Now the
road is open again, but don't expect it to be in excellent
condition. The rail is closed until Friday.
Several roads are still closed, especially bridges over
Ammer, Iller and Donau, and more or less narrow roads in
mountains valleys. So are the border crossings at
Garmisch-Griesen (to Ehrwald) and Achenpa▀ (Lengries-Achen-
see).
In several regions drinkwater must be boiled for at least 10
minutes; I know of Garmisch, Fⁿrstenfeldbruck, Icking, the
complete southern AllgΣu (Fⁿssen,Kempten,Sonthofen,Immen-
stadt,Oberstdorf), Icking near Munich and some villages in
the valley of the Inn.
There are some places without electricity, at least until
tomorrow, 26 may.
Munich is safe, and you may watch the Isar as such an river
as its name promises: a torrent.

For further information e-mail me, but I won't read my mail
before 27 may, noon.
