Another thunderstorm
Several roofs torn loose: Severe weather operations in Lower Austria
Once again there were numerous storm operations in Lower Austria. Eleven emergency crews were deployed for hours, for example to cover roofs that had been torn loose.
In the municipalities of Waldkirchen an der Thaya and Dobersberg, which had been hit by heavy hail a week earlier, tarpaulins were torn off roofs and damaged, the district command reported in a press release. The tarpaulins had to be secured and some of the rainwater leaked into residential buildings.
Turntable ladder in action
According to the district fire brigade command, eleven helpers were deployed, including a turntable ladder. In order to be prepared for further damage after another storm, 35,000 square meters of tarpaulin material was procured.
Severe hailstorm
The hailstorm on June 30 caused massive damage in the region. The villages of Waldkirchen, Gilgenberg, Waldhers and Rappolz in the municipality of Waldkirchen an der Thaya as well as Lexnitz, Reibers and Brunn bei Dobersberg in the municipality of Dobersberg were declared disaster areas and the corresponding ordinance was lifted last Wednesday.
The fire department operation, which involved a total of 520 helpers, ran until Tuesday evening. All damaged homes were provisionally covered with tarpaulins.
