No peace in Lower Austria
City submerged in masses of water for the second time
The emergency services can't rest! On Monday night, thunderstorms, some of them heavy, moved across Lower Austria. The region around Hollabrunn was particularly affected again - the disaster area was flooded once more.
The amount of rain on Sunday evening was not quite as exorbitant as on Friday. "But even 30 millimetres of precipitation was too much for the totally soaked ground," reports a spokesperson for the Hollabrunn district fire brigade command. The railroad line to Vienna had to be closed again. Roads and buildings were flooded once again, numerous large pumps and several smaller devices ran at full speed throughout the night.
1000 firefighters in action
And the volunteers were also working to the point of exhaustion: "Since Friday, a total of around 1000 members have been deployed," said district fire service commander Alois Zaussinger, taking stock: "Some were deployed on all three days, working to the limits of their strength."
Stream overflowed its banks again
The Runzenbach stream near Hollabrunn overflowed its banks again, explains Stefan Obritzhauser, commander of the Hohenwarth fire department. As on Friday, water had to be pumped out of a facility for the disabled, and a horse farm and a tennis hall were also affected for the second time this weekend.
A branch fell onto a house
Severe storms also caused fire department operations in the region around the state capital on Sunday evening: In Maria Jeutendorf near Böheimkirchen, for example, a large branch fell onto a multi-storey building. It threatened to slide down and block the road next to it. However, with the help of the St. Pölten fire department's crane vehicle, the emergency services were able to prevent this.
