Hello everyone,
Baden-Württemberg was severely hit by floods during the weekend. Till now, four people have been reported dead, including a 13 years old girl and a firefighter who was trying to save someone stuck under a bridge.
Significant damage has been caused: mudslides, blocked roads, uprooted trees, landslides, flooded basements, etc. In some places, muddy water even reached a height of 1.70 meters.
Local authorities have mobilized their members to deal with the situation. A crisis unit was opened in Stuttgart so as to respond to emergency calls from the area's residents. So far, hundreds of calls have been received throughout the Baden-Württemberg territory.
Note that the weather alert is maintained as new storms are expected this Monday. Foreign nationals who are on the spot or planning to travel there are advised to be very cautious.
