The German Meteorological Service has recently withdrawn its warning for severe thunderstorms in Saxony-Anhalt. Nevertheless, until 8 p.m., an official advisory remained in effect for strong thunderstorms. Level 2 thunderstorms, out of 4, imply potential risks from lightning strikes, on occasion uprooted trees, occasional flooding of roads and underpasses, and aquaplaning. In contrast, severe thunderstorms carry a life-threatening risk, including lightning strikes, uprooted trees, falling branches, roof tiles, or swift flooding of roads, underpasses, or cellars.
