Lots of flooding
“Land under water” again in Styria
At around 4 a.m. on Thursday night, Graz and the surrounding area were hit again: a large thunderstorm cell moved over the Styrian capital and once again brought a lot of rain with it. The first road closures were necessary due to flooding.
According to the emergency services, large amounts of rain fell mainly in Graz and the Graz-Umgebung district. The volunteer fire department in Grambach, for example, has been in action for hours: "The road through Grambach is currently closed due to flooding", its members announced in a Facebook post on Thursday morning.
The stream has burst its banks, resulting in road closures. Early morning traffic is currently backed up as far as Hausmannstätten.
Underpass flooded
The south-east of Graz was mainly affected by the storm: "In Vasoldsberg, cellars are under water and a stream has also burst its banks in this municipality. An underpass was flooded in Kalsdorf.
In Hausmannstätten, an underground parking garage is under water, and in Thondorf and Hart bei Graz there have also been a number of operations since the early hours of the morning," Thomas Meier tells the "Krone" newspaper.
