Collisions or incidents - Over 350 surgeries necessary due to Munich's flooding.
Since Saturday morning, heavy rainfall has caused over 350 emergency calls to the fire department in Munich. According to a spokesperson for the department, some trees fell on the wet ground and there was even one case of a tree hitting a tram's overhead line. The main concern is the increasing groundwater levels that are putting pressure on homes, resulting in most emergencies being related to water damage in basements or undergarages. The Isar river is also experiencing flooding.
