After some heavy thunderstorms with heavy rain and squalls, the level of the Inn continued to rise in some areas during the night. At Landeck, Haiming and Telfs in the Oberland, the limit of a 30-year flood (HW30) was reached - in Innsbruck and Imst, for example, the highest water level was just below this mark.

Half of the operations in the greater Innsbruck area
The fire departments all over the country had a lot to do during the night: as the Tyrol control center described in response to an inquiry from "Krone", there were 88 operations for 51 fire departments to deal with by 6 am. Half of these were in the districts of Innsbruck-Land (24) and Innsbruck-Stadt (20).

There were 12 incidents each in the districts of Landeck and Schwaz. They were followed by Imst (8), Kufstein (7) and Lienz (5).

Flooded cellars, fallen trees, inspections
The operations involved flooded cellars and underpasses. Some trees also fell onto roads. However, some of the operations were also due to flood checks - such as in Zirl.

Road closure after severe weather
In East Tyrol, several trees fell onto the Villgratental road (L273) in Sillian and Villgratental, and stone material also slipped off. The fire department searched the area for possible vehicles affected, but gave the all-clear. The country road was temporarily closed and a detour set up.

More precipitation from the evening
Ultimately, however, Tyrol has got off lightly so far. The water levels receded again on Saturday. However, the all-clear has not yet been given. Further precipitation is forecast from Saturday evening and into Sunday night. The water levels could therefore rise again.
