Overflowing cellars, streets blocked by branches and streams that have burst their banks: the Bavarian fire brigades in particular had a lot to do on Saturday night. But the number of major accidents and injured people is fortunately limited, said a spokesman for the Bavaria situation center.
In Lower Bavaria, aquaplaning had occurred on individual federal roads, as reported by the “Passauer Neue Presse”. However, no one was seriously injured in the accident. According to the police, there were also no major operations in Garmisch-Patenkirchen and the Allgäu, where level 4 was the highest warning level.
