Disaster in a row
First the flood, now the storm: school destroyed again
With peak winds of 160 km/h, St. Radegund at the foot of the Schöckl in Styria was at the mercy of the brutal natural disaster on Sunday like almost no other community: the power went out, houses had to be evacuated - and the elementary school lost its roof.
"It's a major disaster. 50 years ago we had the flood in St. Radegund, 15 years ago the storm 'Paula'. And now both came within three months of each other," says Mayor Hannes Kogler (ÖVP). He is standing in front of the municipality's elementary school, which best illustrates the extent of the events.

But on Sunday night, the storm tore the roof off the elementary school - leaving a scene of destruction.
