On Thursday night around 4 a.m. the weather started in Graz and the surrounding area: a large thunder cell passed over the capital of Styria and brought a lot of rain. The first road closures are necessary due to flooding.
According to the aid organizations, a lot of rain fell, especially in Graz and the surrounding area. For example, the Grambach volunteer fire brigade has been in action for hours: “The road through the Grambach area is currently closed due to flooding,” its members said in a Facebook post on Thursday morning.
The stream has overflowed its banks, closing roads. There is currently a traffic jam in the early morning traffic as far as Hausmannstätten.
Underpass flooded
The southeast of Graz was particularly affected by the storm: “In Vasoldsberg, cellars are flooded, and a stream has also overflowed its banks in this community. An underpass in Kalsdorf was flooded.
In Hausmannstätten, an underground parking garage is flooded, and in Thondorf and Hart near Graz there have also been some operations since the early morning hours,” says Thomas Meier, giving a first assessment of the operations to the “Krone”. .
