Flash Flood at the Hamburg Fish Market

One thing we know for sure, it's going to flood at some point.

In Hamburg, Germany, recent rains led to the Elbe river rising 17 feet higher than usual. In most other cities, this would have led to disaster, but Hamburg has flooded in the past and has fortified the city against the major damage caused by this type of disaster.

So the fish market is designed to accept flooding (that's why the lights are still on).
