Incidents of Mishap - Over 420 procedures associated with floods in Munich
It's been raining non-stop in Munich since Saturday night, causing over 420 incidents for the fire department. The department made this announcement in the afternoon on Sunday. Some fallen trees, like one on a tram's overhead line, are blamed on the wet ground. The main issue is the increasing groundwater, which is forcing its way into houses. Most of their rescues involved flooded basements or underground garages. Meanwhile, the Isar river is flooding as well, prompting temporary dams. According to their statement, the firefighters expect more interventions, but the situation is relaxing.
