A tempest sweeps through the area. - New Ulm has weathered the highest flood levels - extent of damage unknown.
Neu-Ulm city officials have determined that the flood pressure on the Danube and Iller rivers has peaked, preventing the feared 100-year flood. While water levels remain high, the worst-case scenario has been avoided. In her evening statement, Mayor Katrin Albsteiger noted, "Once the situation settles down, we'll discover the extent of potential damages." The Danube promenades, streets near the rivers, as well as bike paths alongside the Danube and Iller will remain shut until further notice.
