The river burst its banks and a great flood was in progress.
This house on the riverbank was in the midst of the flood.
The house is close to our home, but much closer to the river and the whole area in the first photo looked like a dam. Fortunately, a guy in a boat rescued the person and the dogs that lived in the house. But much worse was to follow. The resident stayed with a friend and decided to return to the house after the flood waters had subsided.
So, let me tell you the story with my pictures.
Like I said, the entire area was flooded and a school was also demolished by the flood.
Now that little stream looks harmless, but it is in fact a river and you can see that it carried tons of rocks on its way during the flooding.
Now here below starts even a worse side to this story.
Vandals had broken into the house, and they stripped the house of its contents. And then the house was set on fire.
Imagine if you were to return to your house,and found it like this!
A terrible nightmare, as now the resident has nothing. A quandary of note, that no one deserves, and the resident will now have to start life all over again.
We are worried about the person that lost the house, and we will see if can find a contact number to assist the person. Our local paper has more detail on this story about the house.
And you can google "Distrikspos 12 July 2023 edition".
Regarding the school that was also destroyed during the floods.
Our partner non-profit, Imibala, took the 100 schoolchildren in, as their school was wrecked by the flood, and now a new premises is being sought for the school in a safer area. Imibala also feeds the children and Papillon supplies some fruit. So, thus far the school children are sorted.
Life can certainly deliver some sharp and unexpected blows to us as humans and I know how this person feels, as I have also been burgled a few times. Lost everything and had to start over. A feeling of privacy violation and emotional helplessness engulfs the senses, but such is life, and we simply have to go on. Stand up, shake off the dust of the fall and move on.
Never easy and a long battle awaits the person that lived in that house.
Who said that life is easy?
And That's All Friends!

Thank you and yes, it is a tale of sorrow. Not only the4 flood, but the theft and the fire as well.
Totally ruined, but God is good. All the time.

Fury of nature one can accept, disgusting actions of theft and arson simply not acceptable.
Hope you are able to find the person now powerless to move on having nothing, more likely than not no employment either.

Looting has become a fashion and nothing is safe anymore. When the cops also join the looters then we know that we are in deep trouble.
Still have not found the person but will try in the new week.

Something is seriously wrong here my friend.

What is beautiful?
What a devastating loss for the person who lived there..my heart is heavy for them and their pets. We can stand against unfair treatment and unfair laws but we can say nothing about how fair or unfair mother nature is. It simply is! It is good news that your house was safe.

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoOh yes, it is a very sad situation and I know how bad I felt when we were burgled. There are so many weird things going on now and even the thieves are fighting among themselves.
The damages by Mother nature one can understand, but the damage by mankind is a very different story.
Thankfully our house is out of the flood line.

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoWow, I have no reason anymore to complain about anything ... what a sad story. I could live with the fact that the flood has destroyed my house, but people who take advantage to rob my house while I can't be there are the worst and they even burn the house down - how bad can people be?

Things are much worse here than this story my friend. People get killed for their phones and even for their shoes. Life has become meaningless for so many, and they will do anything to make a quick buck.
The country is in trouble as millions are unemployed and there are simply no jobs available.
Desperation and cunning rules.
Life is all we have and it's most important that we respect it. I know it's hard for these people ... stealing things is one thing and bad enough, although I can understand stealing for food, but stealing everything one has and then burn his house down, that's evil.
Easy said for someone who lives in a safe country and who has a safe job, isn't it?
!invest_vote
Yes, you are right, as life is supposed to be regarded as sacred. But things are much worse here and it goes way past one's understanding.
I suppose they set the house on fire to erase their fingerprints.
Yep, you can thank the Lord that you live in a safe country my friend. None in their right minds will mess with a senior police officer, so your job is very safe 😉 !LOLZ
Oh wow, they burn the house to get rid of their fingerprints - I would just wear cheap gloves 😉 !LOLZ
Yep, reading your stories make me glad to live here, although it isn't always a pleasure to be and to work here 😏

That's what I am told, but it might also be for other reasons. One that I can think of is that they don't like anyone living there, as the resident might spy on their illegal actions near the river.
Why is it that as humans, we are never totally happy with anything? Even those that live in castles are not happy and the ones that live in mud huts are also not happy. Something is wrong here. 😛 !LOLZ
There is a song that goes; "This world is not my home.... " by Jim Reeves and I think that's the answer.
Cheers and thanks.
That could be a better reason, but still so bad.
I agree that something's wrong here 😏 !LOLZ
I'm also guilty for always wating more or something better, but the older I get the more I appreciate what I have.
