Metrological conditions - Slides and floods devastate the Black Forest-Baar region
A few towns in the Tuttlingen district experienced severe flooding, specifically Aldingen, Gosheim, and Denkingen. Basements got filled up and roads turned into pools of water. A landslide created a barrier on a road linking Denkingen and Gosheim. A more substantial response was needed when water got into a gas station in Aldingen. On a federal road, a car was submerged in water masses. The fire department saved the vehicle's occupants, and one person had minor injuries.
