In Tyrol, large parts of the country are still on red alert due to the flood situation. The “Krone” has videos of the floods – also those in the Ötz and Stubaital, but also in Innsbruck and Schwaz. Devastating videos keep popping up on social media. But see for yourself…
So far, the districts of Imst have been hit hardest, especially the Ötztal, as well as the district of Innsbruck-Land. According to Geosphere and the country’s hydrographic service, the situation on the main Alpine ridge will remain precarious in the afternoon and possible thunderstorms could exacerbate the situation.
Not everything is clear for now
During the afternoon, the focus shifted to the Zillertal Alps and the East Tyrolean Tauern, according to the country that had activated state operations management. In East Tyrol, the water levels in the upper part of the Isel can rise.
In addition, thunderstorms can further increase precipitation intensity. The crests or peaks were expected at the feeders of the Inn between noon and evening, in Innsbruck in the afternoon and in the lowlands on Tuesday evening.
The persistent heavy rain and the associated rise in the level of rivers and streams in Tyrol kept thousands of emergency services on their toes on Monday. After floods, mudslides and landslides, roads and the Brenner railway are closed. The management of state operations was stepped up.
