Flooding
Violent thunderstorm cell over Bregenzerwald
A violent thunderstorm erupted over Vorarlberg early Tuesday evening. The Bregenzerwald was particularly hard hit. The L200 was almost impassable in places.
Although the thunderstorm had been predicted by some weather services, many were surprised by it - especially by the intensity of the rainfall. Inferno-like scenes could be observed in the Bregenzerwald, for example, where the downpour was so heavy that many drivers tried to get to the nearest parking lot to wait out the worst.
Sections of the L 200 were completely flooded, water gushed down the slopes, every little stream swelled and the water gushed out of the springs. Streams formed next to the road in places where there is normally no water at all. Hail also thundered down on the region for several minutes, especially on Alberschwende.
Houses close to the road were flooded and the masses of water swept away branches, gravel and pebbles. After around 40 minutes, at around 6 p.m., the thunderstorm cell had moved away, it will also have caused a lot of damage elsewhere, and the fire departments had and still have their hands full.
