Severe Weather Response
Gusts of wind uprooted trees and tore off roofs
A severe weather front with violent gusts kept fire departments in the Upper Austrian districts of Eferding, Linz-Land, Linz City, Perg, and Urfahr-Umgebung on their toes on Monday afternoon. A path of destruction in the municipality of Hinzenbach ripped the roofs off houses. Fortunately, it appears that no one was injured. Cleanup efforts are underway.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen It was around 3:45 p.m. when violent gusts of wind suddenly swept through Upper Austria. As a result of the severe weather, several trees were also uprooted. Near the heavily trafficked ramp from Leonfeldner Straße in Linz to the Voest Bridge on the A7 (Mühlkreisautobahn), a large tree trunk—still covered in leaves—fell onto the roadway, approximately near the PRO shopping center. However, no cars or people were harmed in the incident. Emergency responders from the Linz Professional Fire Department cleared the dangerous obstacle from the road.
Fallen trees also led to emergency responses in Kirchham, Natternbach, Saxen, Leonding, Bad Zell, Hörsching, Lichtenberg, Luftenberg, Engerwitzdorf, Fraham, and Wilhering.
In the municipality of Hinzenbach, not only did a tree fall, but roofs were also partially torn off. Several houses were affected, and firefighters secured the damaged buildings.
In Herzogsdorf, a tree caught fire after being struck by lightning; a chapel built in 1845 standing next to it also caught fire. However, the damage was kept to a minimum thanks to a rapid response by the Neisserling Fire Department.
Near St. Ulrich bei Steyr, a power line was damaged, leaving approximately 900 households temporarily without power. According to Linz AG, outages also occurred in the Lichtenberg, Kirchschlag, Glasau, and Hellmonsödt areas. Service technicians worked around the clock to quickly repair the damage.
