Wednesday afternoon’s cloudburst caused multiple deployments of the Viennese professional fire brigade in Vienna. Dramatic images of flooded streets are causing a stir on the internet. In addition, the passage at Karlsplatz was partially flooded. However, the fire brigade calmed down – the incidents were not too bad.
Wednesday’s rain in Vienna caused a total of 50 extra deployments of the professional fire brigade. “But there is nothing serious about it,” says a spokesman. It is more about incidents such as flooded basements. “We’re working on that right now,” he said.
The sometimes surfacing images of floods that circulated on social media weren’t that bad. The sewage system was overloaded for a short time, the spokesman said. However, the situation calmed down for a short time.
“Everything is actually right in Vienna”
For the ÖAMTC, however, the situation in Vienna was somewhat different from that of the fire brigade. “Everything is actually in its place in Vienna,” the ÖAMTC mobility information reported early Wednesday evening. In the rest of Germany there were traffic nuisance accidents in many places. On the Pyhrnautobahn (A9) and Tauernautobahn (A10) transit routes, block handling for some tunnels has been announced due to congestion.
