Heavy rain and hail, which have been effective since last night in the western parts of the country, have negatively affected life. While streets and avenues turned into lakes in some settlements, hail fell in some areas. Due to the heavy rain that has been effective since last night in the Hannover city region of Lower Saxony, the basements of many houses were flooded and trees were overturned.
While fire crews in the city of Celle received 21 flood reports, they reported that the water level in some basements rose up to 30 centimeters. Many cars, including police vehicles, were stranded on the road due to water accumulation under bridges and on the streets. A patrol vehicle was trapped under a bridge in the town of Elmshorn while heading to a report.
