1800000 victims 🆘 Elbe floods Europe: Hamburg is drowning in dirty water!

Heavy rains led to localized flooding in Austria, followed by Belgium and Germany.
According to journalists, due to the flood, which provoked downpours, the center of the city of Hallain turned into a real river. The damage is huge… The situation in Salzburg remains tense. The rain continues and there are many dangerous places.

I thank the disaster management in the affected areas, all the emergency services and the people of Salzburg who are helping others in this emergency. We will not leave anyone in trouble,” the governor said.

Forecasters warn that the rains in Austria will continue, so new flooding of residential areas is possible. Residents are asked to stay at home, not to enter underground garages and stay away from dams.

In Hallein, rescuers evacuated residents of several residential buildings due to the threat of landslides. In Salzburg, more than 2,300 firefighters and several aviation units were involved in liquidation of the flood.

Several areas of North Rhine-Westphalia were inundated by continuous downpours, but no area reported a maximum flood level that would require evacuation.

In Bielefeld, firefighters said they responded to numerous calls about basements and streets flooding, and the Wakelpeter Family Festival was canceled.

In Gütersloh, part of Osnabrücker-Landstrasse was still under water in the morning. It is still closed to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

The A2 and A33 highways were also temporarily closed due to the accident. Four people, including two children, suffered minor injuries in an accident on the A2 in the direction of Hanover late in the evening.

After weeks of rain and storms, unsettled weather has set in across Germany. The southwestern city of Reutlingen even called in snow plows after hail covered its streets.

In the city of Hamm, located between Dortmund and Münster, several power outages were reported, along with flooding of roads and basements. Hamm’s fire team has participated in more than 100 operations.

The water level on the streets in some places reached 20-30 centimeters, due to which many roads were impassable, and some were even blocked.

Several events had to be canceled, including the airport festival, which is popular in the region. There were also many fire calls in Munster in the evening due to heavy rain. The German Meteorological Service has issued a severe weather warning with heavy rain in Hamme. According to data, there were areas where up to 50 liters of rain fell per square meter.
