Flood drama in the Rems-Murr district: The Kpanaki family is fighting for a new beginning!

Rudersberg, Deutschland - In the Rems-Murr district, a devastating flood hit the Kpanaki family hard in June 2024. On a fateful night, the quiet life in Rudersberg turned into a chaos when a strong thunderstorm still tightened the already difficult flood situation. Within a few hours, her home was flooded up to the upper floor, and the family was in front of nothing. Michaela Kpanaki reported that her entire house was under water and watched her with horrors how her furniture, toys and important documents were lost, while the water masses tore everything with them. Nevertheless, she remained optimistic and emphasized: "The most important thing is that nothing happened to anyone. We are fine, it depends on it," like stuttgarter-zeitung.de reported.

The Kpanakis, consisting of five members, now live in a cramped room with only two rooms. As much as the flood has taken her home, it has let the family grow together more. Michaela, who is passionate about baking, is relieved that her baking tins, lovingly sorted and safely stowed away, have survived the disaster day unscathed. "The children love baking. It gives us a piece of normality in this difficult time," she said pleased. The desperate attempt to regain a feeling of everyday life shapes their new beginning, while they are preparing for Christmas and hope that the coming year will be better, reports
