Heavy rain in Thuringia: streets and train stations fight against floods
Damage caused by heavy rain in Thuringia
In Thuringia, heavy rainfall led to considerable damage on Friday. The fire brigade was deployed in several regions because numerous cellars were flooded and streets were flooded. The city of Nordhausen and Erfurt were particularly affected, where the main train station was also under water. These natural events required rapid action of the rescue workers to ensure the security situation for the population.
Effects on public life
The floods not only had direct damage, but also influenced school operations in several cities. At the Albert-Schweizer-Gymnasium, the school had to remain closed due to water damage. At other schools such as the cooperative comprehensive school "Am Schwemmbach", shortened lessons took place, which shows how strongly the natural events affect the everyday life of the citizens.
Facts about the weather event
The rainfall in the region were enormous. In Nordhausen, over 113 liters of rain per square meter were measured on a single day. These quantities led to a significant increase in water levels in the surrounding rivers, with the helmet river in Sundhausen reaching the highest warning level. The German Weather Service had previously issued an official severe weather warning for the region, which indicates the urgency of the situation.
Reaction of the authorities and fire brigade
The state authorities reacted promptly. In Nordhausen, the fire brigade moved out over 80 times to pump Keller empty and clear streets. In Erfurt, the fire brigade had to fight against fully run cellar and flooded roads. Due to the danger situation, traffic was massively restricted in various places, which severely restricted the mobility of the citizens.
Damage to infrastructure and affected people
The infrastructural effects are also significant. There was an earthfall on the street between Buchholz and Buchholz, which made the road impassable. Several accidents on the motorways due to the bad weather meant that many people were slightly injured. This underlines the dangers associated with such extreme weather conditions.
impressions of the residents
The residents of the affected areas are severely affected by the events. The town hall was closed in Heldrungen due to water damage and the city administration informs about the ongoing cleanup. The residents are concerned about the possible long -term consequences and the restoration of the infrastructure, which is now more urgent than ever.
Outlook and evaluation of the situation
The situation in Thuringia remains tense while the cleanup is continued. The residents hope for an early normalization of life. These unforeseen weather phenomena emphasize the need for better infrastructures and emergency management systems in order to strengthen the resistance of cities against future natural events.
