  1. @Slavic Melody The people were never lost. Just anybody in the world was trying to get in contact and gave a search request. Most often only the phone was broke .. so contact was lost. It's not so spectacular. The haven't found people under debrie. They found them sitting in their garden or sleeping at their friends place. It's just not everyone knows where everyone is.

  2. Don't prohibit people to laugh. Could be just a matter of politeness and friendlyness, when talking with somebody.

  3. Depends on what you consider rare. Every 10 years maybe, and everytime an other area. Cause it's rare and a surprise, people are not prepared.

  4. Most of them stay with friends and have just not registered where they are. Or they lost their cellphone. So somebody is searching.

  5. No, nobody is shooting, you can walk outside after the water has gone. You know when it's over.

  6. Maybe a few houses are not rebuilt, but not entire villages. There is not enough space to relocate them. And nobody knows how likely it is to happen again, if it happens in 100 years again, you can build a house meanwhile.

  7. It's asked too much, not to laugh any more. Might be unpolite to talk with others, while the president is speaking.

  8.  @sectorgovernor  It is common, but people don't have a feeling of "Europe", a flood in Germany is a flood in Germany, and there is no difference if another flood is in Romania or Scotland or Australia or Missippi, it's abroad and far away. The feeling of "here" and "home" is not "Europe". There is no identity of the continent. Maybe it slowly changes.
