    the river Fulda escaped into town, flooding a major complex of roads, roundabouts, bike paths, foot
    paths and so forth, the design of which included a Several of underpasses. This caused a certain

    rather lack of it, of the motorcar in such conditions, set off upon his gleaming steed to negotiate
    the aftermath of The Deluge. Witness reported that he did not get very far before disappearing, Atlantis-
    like, beneath the waves, having found out the hard way /precisely/ where the one of the subways was
    located...
