Storm in Tyrol
Storm front caused a number of operations in Tyrol
The storm front was forecast, and there was indeed heavy rain, hail and squalls in places in Tyrol on Wednesday. The main focus was on the Wörgl area up to the Wildschönau. The Hahntennjoch in the Außerfern was also closed for two hours.
"The heavy rain actually affected the entire town area", said the Wörgl fire department in the late afternoon after they had returned to the fire station. Water had to be pumped out of a total of 27 cellars and underground car parks were also affected.
"Fortunately, there were no dangerous situations for people," said one volunteer, giving the all-clear. They were also deployed at the school center, for example.

Debris flow on a country road
The Wildschönau also had to contend with the storm front. A mudslide hit the main road, but there was no major damage or long-term closure.
Tree fell onto car
A dangerous incident occurred in Kirchbichl. Due to the storm, a tree fell directly onto a parked car. Fortunately, no one was injured. The fire department removed the tree with chainsaws.
Hahntennjoch closed
The storm front also caused problems in the Oberland. The Hahntennjoch road, the mountain pass between the districts of Imst and Reutte, was closed for two hours. However, this was more of a precautionary measure, it was said.
In the Außerfern, it poured down like buckets in places, and there were also squalls, as witnesses reported to the "Krone" newspaper. For example in the Reutte area.
