Vehicle swept away by masses of mud, squalls, flooding, road closures: Carinthia's fire departments are battling the damage caused by last night's storm. 

"The weather left a trail of devastation! Several cellars are under water, streams are overflowing their banks, trees are blocking the road and Carinthia's fire departments are still battling against flooding," is how the provincial alarm and warning center describes the busy night. And volunteer fire departments are still fighting against the storm damage. The Görtschitz and Lavant valleys and the St. Veit area have been particularly hard hit.

Car swept away by masses of water
A 19-year-old driver of a flatbed truck had a stroke of luck. While driving, the young man from Wolfsberg was pushed against a bridge railing by masses of water that overflowed the banks of the Waldensteiner Bach in Preitenegg. The driver was unable to free himself. Emergency services were deployed and rescued the trapped person.
