<span style="font-style: italic;">my </span>part of Hamburg was one of those hardest hit.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
How could I forget waking up and seeing motorcars leaning against the house while standing on their submerged tails, parts of garages, sheds and houses floating down the street, my first real-life sight of human corpses, my first helicopter ride (compliments of the Royal Army), weeks without power and warmth, hundreds of people lost, many never to be found ...?
