The storm, which caused heavy damage in Bavaria, also hit Salzburg and Upper Austria on Saturday afternoon. The fire department was constantly on the go. In addition to heavy rain and hail in some places, violent storms raged and trees were uprooted.
By about 6:00 PM, the sky over the entire central area and the city of Salzburg had darkened considerably. The supercell can be seen on images. The storm brought heavy rain and hurricane force winds, and numerous trees were uprooted. The northern Flachgau was particularly affected; several roads were impassable.
Water rescue in action
Water rescue was also present at the Wolfgangsee and Mondsee, among others, to save several people and boats.
Braunau district hit hard
In Upper Austria, the district of Braunau was hit hardest: 26 alarms for the fire brigade in just 24 minutes. At 20:00 almost 600 missions had already been completed.
The storm had also caused unrest in Linz. “You can’t see your hand in front of your face anymore. It’s weird how pitch black it’s gotten now. It’s like the end of the world,” says Gerald Schwab, editor of Krone.
