The preceding Sunday witnessed heavy rainfall, resulting in flooding in certain parts of northern Germany. This, in turn, led to road closures. The Lübeck fire department shared that they responded to 105 weather-related incidents in a statement, most of which involved pumping out water. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
In the Lasbek-Gut community in Schleswig-Holstein, lying northeast of Hamburg, a river broke its banks, flooding a long stretch of road. Around 15 to 20 inhabitants had to be evacuated from their homes, according to the German Press Agency's Wehrführer Sven Oberkofler. The water peaked at a height of 75 centimeters, warranting the use of boats from the German Life-Saving Association. To the south of Hamburg, flooding occurred as well. The fire department's website noted several interventions for difficulties like flooded cellars.
On the A19 and A20 highways in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, storms caused a series of accidents on Sunday. While one person sustained a mild injury, there were no further consequences.
