It was a wild week of weather across the United States, and worldwide, with flooding dominating the headlines However the flooding wasn’t just isolated to the Lower 48. Let’s take a trip around the world to see what top headlines you might have missed.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiD6ZM7Dslg&t=2s Deadly flooding ravaged parts of Europe with Germany being hit the hardest. A low pressure system became trapped between two flanking high pressure systems, allowing it to tap into massive amounts of Mediterranean moisture. Parts of Germany received 2 months' worth of rain in just 24 hours.   At least 200 people across Europe died as a result of the flooding, with at least 171 of those deaths coming from Germany. Major flooding was also reported in Belgium, Austria, The Netherlands, and Italy.    In China, a similar story unfolded. More than a foot and half of water inundated the city of Zhengzhou. The city received nearly eight inches of rain in just one hour, accumulating a year’s worth of rain in one day.  At least 25 people died, including 12 people who were trapped on a subway line that took on water while in a tunnel.    In Canada a powerful EF-2 tornado ripped through the community of Barrie, Ontario. Authorities say the tornado injured 10 while leaving more than a 7-mile path of destruction.   For additional Wild Weather Around The World segments, check back in with us here at weathernationtv.com.
