The couple's neighbor, Carine Lacroix, can't sleep at night, remembering how her and her companion feared for their lives during the floods. In her nerve-wracking nightmares, she is desperately trying to keep the floods out of her home or sees one of her cats drowning before her eyes. All three are among hundreds of survivors in the small Belgian town of Trooz who are experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. Three people were killed in Trooz after the Vesdre River spilled its banks amid heavy rainfall. Tagadirt is a founding member of the group People against Flows, which is asking Belgian authorities to shed the light on the disaster.
