Violent storms have caused a lot of damage in parts of Baden-Württemberg. Bisingen in the Zollernalb district was hit particularly badly.
On Thursday, thunderstorms and heavy rain caused damage in several regions in Baden-Württemberg. Streets were flooded and cellars were overflowing. Bisingen was hit particularly hard.
After the strong thunderstorm early on Thursday evening, the Klingenbach overflowed its banks. On Friday, the police announced that disruptions would continue to occur in the area.
Similarly, severe weather that hit the Dutch city of Venlo and its surrounding areas on Thursday evening caused severe flooding. Streets were flooded and emergency services received numerous reports.
Shops and basements had to be pumped out and flooded streets cleared after Thursday’s storm. There hasn’t been a storm like this in Bisingen for 40 years, residents said.
The police reported more than 90 emergency locations in the region and hundreds of emergency calls were received. A police helicopter was also used.
There were also severe storms in other parts of Baden-Württemberg with heavy rain and squalls, and in some cases it hailed.
There was also damage from the storm in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Hesse. No planes were routinely loaded or unloaded at Frankfurt Airport during the storm. Many evening departures and arrivals were delayed.
The German Weather Service (DWD) had warned of possible local thunderstorms with heavy rain from southwest Germany to the center of the country. Even hailstorms and squalls were possible.
On Friday night, the DWD gave the all-clear: all severe weather warnings in Germany could be lifted. Heavy rain can still be expected in the west at the start of the day. But this was supposed to move westwards from Germany in the morning.
