Austria was hit by storms again on Sunday. In the Carinthian district of Feldkirchen, a 35-year-old driver was slightly injured when a tree fell onto his moving vehicle.

According to the police, the children in the car were uninjured. The incident occurred in the municipality of Steuerberg. Several trees and three electricity pylons were uprooted or knocked over. As a result, several garages, three house roofs, the roofs of the elementary school and the fire station were damaged. 

A tree also fell onto a moving car in the Völkermarkt district; the 66-year-old driver was uninjured. A power line was torn off north of the Draubrücke bridge, hanging down onto the road and causing a temporary closure. "A small mudslide displaced a side road in the area of the Tscheppaschlucht gorge", according to the police. Several thousand households were temporarily without power.  

Surfers and boaters in distress
A car was hit by a tree in Nötsch. In Lower Carinthia, cellars were flooded. In total, the Carinthian fire brigades had to deploy to around 100 storm operations on Sunday. 

A thunderstorm front had already moved across parts of Upper Carinthia by midday. Fallen trees were reported in the Spittal district. In the afternoon, the thunderstorm cell moved on towards the central region. "Several fallen trees were also reported here due to the storm," announced the regional alarm and warning center and continued: "The water rescue team also had to be deployed. Because surfers and boaters were in distress at sea." The water rescue team therefore also made patrols to get people ashore.
