1953, almost 54 years ago…….During the night of January 31th till the morning of February 1st 175.000 hectares of land changed into 175.000 hectares of sea. A super storm, combined with extreme high tide put big parts of Zuid-Holland, Zeeland, West-Vlaanderen and Noord-Brabant under water. Two villages totally vanished: Capelle on Schouwen-Duiveland and Schuring on Hoeksche Waard. Also on the island of Texel there were casualties, 6 in total which one was killed when he tried to warn the local farmers. All together more than 1600 people died as well as thousands of animals. It was the biggest disaster in The Netherlands after the Second World War. Though I didn’t live in the time of the flood disaster I am a bit afraid for this to happen again because I live next to the coast where in 1953 this inundation happened. But fortunately nowadays we have modern techniques to protect ourselves from floods and we have very strong dikes. Every year we have a memorial day where we remind the people who died in 1953 in that horrible night of January 31. By Nor el Saouaf, T2A
