MUNICH (dpa)
A major storm caused flooded roads and cellars and traffic obstructions due to fallen trees in the southern German state of Bavaria on Friday evening.
According to a police spokesman in Kempten, southwest of Munich, hailstones turned roads white, and emergency services reported around 320 operations between 6 pm (1600 GMT) and midnight.
The Allgäu region and the Lindau district, near Lake Constance and the Austrian border, were most affected. Follow-up operations, including pumping out cellars, continued into the night.
The police station in Rosenheim, further east, recorded another 230 operations. Emergency services responded to flooded cellars and fallen trees onto roads and sometimes tracks. No injuries were reported.
