| Description |
Postcard. Postally used. Stamp intact. Cancellation date of 1 May 1902. Bought from an eBay seller in Berlin, Germany. Note the figures that have been drawn in to add drama to the scene. "After a perfect Sunday with clear blue skies and warm air inviting Berliners to go out and be merry, between 2.30 AM and 8.45 AM on April 14th, 1902 Berlin lived through the worst storm ever recorded in the city up to that day – the next such tempest would hit it only 62 years later, in 1964. The hail turned into torrential rain accompanied by an usual for this time of the year cannonade of thunders and lightings. ... Firemen were fishing out children helplessly floating down the streets on their beds, and babies – some of them still asleep – carried in their cribs by the torrents." - <a href="http://kreuzberged.com/2013/05/06/here-comes-the-rain-or-the-flood-in-yorckstrasse/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">kreuzberged.com/2013/05/06/here-comes-the-rain-or-the-flo...</a> My thoughts go out to all those currently experiencing flooding along the Elbe and the Danube ... 111 years after the downpour captured in the above photo. |
