Biden also expressed his condolences and the condolences of the American people to those affected by the flooding in Germany and other countries."All these people living here, I know them all. I feel so sorry for them. They've lost everything. All they have is what they've had on them — it's all gone," Gillessen, 65, told Reuters."A friend had a workshop over there, nothing standing. The bakery, the butcher — it's all gone. It's scary. Unimaginable.
