Violent storm in Berlin: a dead and numerous injuries!

in Berlin and the neighboring regions, a violent storm has caused chaos in the past few days. There was a tragic incident on Monday when a person was killed and three other people were seriously injured. The fire brigade reported over 500 missions that were necessary to cope with the consequences of the storm. Among other things, a tree fell on a car on Trabener Strasse, which dramatically tightened the situation. Train traffic was also severely affected by the storms, so that the entire S-Bahn network of the capital had to be temporarily stopped. Many branches and trees had blocked the tracks, which led to a considerable standstill. Above all, the important rail connection between Berlin and Hamburg was blocked by overturned trees, whereby it is currently unclear how long the disturbance will last, so [nordkurier.de] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/brandenburg/ein-toter-und-drei-schwerwerwerwerhren-bei-sturm-in-berin-in-mv-3695170).

The German Weather Service warned of strong thunderstorms and hurricane -like gusts that were able to reach wind speeds of up to 100 km/h. The Brandenburg area in particular was affected, where the highest wind speed was measured at 105 km/h. But the storm was not only active in Berlin-there were also numerous storm damage in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, especially between Müritz and Neubrandenburg. Fortunately, fire brigades also had to remove fiery trees, for example in Malchin, where a tree fell on the road, without injured without injured. The ferries between the mainland and the island of Hiddensee failed, and the Stralsund zoo had to close early due to the weather. The railway line between Schwerin and Hagenow was also not accessible because the tracks were blocked by fallen trees, which forced the trains to be diverted via Ludwigslust rbb24.de.

traffic chaos through the storm

The effects of the storm events were evident in the infrastructural difficulties that the residents had to cope with. In Berlin, 75 missions were reported until late in the afternoon, most of them due to falling branches and crunched trees. The RE10 and RB43 rail lines were interrupted for hours, while individual connections between Cottbus and Frankfurt (Oder) failed. Long -distance transport between Berlin and Hamburg also had to be diverted several times, which both travelers and commuters presented with great challenges. The location is tense, as the fire brigades reported, since the operations continue, especially in Potsdam-Mittelmark and Teltow-Fläming, where the fire brigade recorded a total of 131 missions.

The weather remains unpredictable according to the meteorologists. The storm moves on and brings uncomfortable conditions with it. It is important that residents and travelers find out about the recent weather warnings. Sturm- und Horkan warnings are continuously updated by steepetterzentrale.de. This information is particularly important for industries such as the construction industry and agriculture, which are often dependent on the weather and are dependent on precise forecasts.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the next few days and whether the devastation can be remedied quickly. Until then, it is time to meet the storms with respect and to exercise caution.
