Storm chaos in Saxony-Anhalt: Hundreds of missions of the fire brigade!

Uenglingen, Deutschland - Saxon storms have firmly grip on Saxony-Anhalt in the past few days. The Altmark and the district of Stendal are particularly affected, where hundreds of fire brigade operations were registered. According to N-tv came together in the district of Stendal 154, some of which were still in the event of Friday morning. Fallow trees that fall on streets and vehicles represent the main cause of the alarms.

The emergency services are full of use, especially in Uenglingen, north of Stendal, where trees have fallen over a distance of 1.5 kilometers. Gardelegen was also hit hard, where 106 missions with around 170 firefighters pulled the round. "Cleaning up continues and some cemeteries remain closed until further notice," informs the rapporteur of MDR

rail traffic in the region is also difficult to fight. Due to damage to the overhead lines between Hanover and Stendal/Berlin, there are train failures and delays in long -distance transport. While some routes are interrupted, buses were used to commute between Stendal, Wittenberge and Salzwedel. The Magdeburg-Wolfsburg route is also affected, the regional traffic level is severely restricted, such as n-tv reported.

In addition, the mdr were without electricity before all affected households could be connected to the network around midnight. The region has to struggle with strong wind peaks, which even reached hurricane speeds of 110 km/h in the Zerbst area. These meteorological phenomena prompted the German Weather Service (DWD) to current warning messages that warn of further severe thunderstorms and possible consequences such as lightning strikes and floods.
