Help for flood victims in Thuringia: a fundraising campaign after severe weather disaster!

Weimarer Land, Deutschland - A violent storm was hit hard on Sunday, June 1st. The Weimarer Land was particularly affected, where the weather conditions led to catastrophic conditions. Heavy rain quickly turned into raging streams, whereby the mud and rubble avalanches rolled through the districts, such as thueringen24.de reported. The fire brigades were in constant use to eliminate the damage in the rural community on the Ettersberg.

The location of a family in this region is particularly tragic, which, after the storm, urgently needs help for reconstruction. Her friend Luise has already started a call for donations to collect the necessary means. Terrifying images of the devastation can be seen on the donation side. The family's court gate did not withstand the water masses, which led to considerable damage. Neighbors, family and friends help to eliminate the mud, but many things have been badly damaged, and high costs for repairs and replacement have arisen.

regional effects of the storm

Not only in Am Ettersberg there were massive problems. In the Tannroda district of Bad Berka, the gravel towered up to half a meter, while in Kranichfeld the storm cell also left numerous damage. Large rainfall fell within a very short time, which made the sewage system overloaded and several roads had to be fully closed at times. In some cases, the streets stood up to 30 centimeters under water, and the gullies clogged by drift material. Like mdr.de there was an accident with three vehicles at Weimar, which led to further damage of around 50,000 euros. Fortunately, a person remained only slightly injured in this incident.

The German Weather Service warned of heavy thunderstorms in large parts of Thuringia on Sunday, and the region was stirred up by a severe weather warning. Current warning levels from the storm center show that various areas in Thuringia are affected by extreme storms. Information and current warnings on storm situations are available on the website of the storm central center St. st. st.

The consequences and the look to the front

In the coming days, the population awaits cooler weather with temperatures between 20 and 24 degrees, interrupted by sunny phases. The temperatures rise again from Tuesday. For those injured by the storms, the hope remains that with the help of the community, the necessary support can quickly be provided and the reconstruction will be initiated. Luise asks to actively support the affected family, because in the past they have always been helpful.
