Over 1300 individuals were requested to vacate their houses on Saturday to ensure their security. By Saturday evening, the water level of the Schussen rose exceedingly, reaching a level of 4.86 meters. This surpassed the river's previous capacity, as its normal depth at that site is a mere 45 centimeters.
