On Friday afternoon, several strong gusts of wind were already blowing through Tyrol. There was already a lot of demand for the emergency services on Saturday evening. This is evident from an initial balance sheet of the Tyrol control center. A tree fell on a house in the state capital.
“From Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. to Saturday around 8 a.m. we counted 21 missions,” said a spokesperson for the Tyrol control center. This does not include calls that come directly to the fire brigade. According to the spokesperson, the Innsbruck region was initially the hotspot. “From that evening, the area around Lake Achen was also affected. As far as I know, there was a short power outage there too.”
Tree fell on house in Innsbruck
Police reported only one of the numerous operations on Saturday morning. “A tree fell on a house on Innerkoflerstrasse in Innsbruck around 4:45 p.m. after heavy showers.” A blessing in disguise: no one was injured in the incident. However, there was significant damage to the house. Innsbruck’s professional fire brigade removed the fallen tree.
As reported, the state warned in a broadcast on Friday of sometimes strong hurricane-like wind gusts in Tyrol. These were expected from Saturday to Monday. Up to 120 km/h were expected in the mountains.
