Houses flooded – torrents raging: thunderstorms triggered civil defense alarm

Date:

Heavy thunderstorms hit the municipality of Krems in Carinthia on Sunday evening, causing enormous danger, so that the state emergency and warning center had to issue a civil defense alert

The Innerkremserbach, which flows into the Lieser, had burst its banks, taking with it large quantities of rubble and tree trunks.

Houses and fire station were flooded
A road closure had to be imposed from Kremsbrücke. Innerkrems is cut off from the outside world. Several houses and the fire station in Kremsbrücke were flooded. People were unharmed.

Residents are advised to go to the upper floors of their homes. Sepp Glanzer, commander of the FF Kremsbrücke, warns: “The situation is serious, the currents are still raging. The damage is enormous, the clean-up work will take several days!”
