Heavy rain, gusts of wind – short but noticeable: storm operations in Klagenfurt

The Klagenfurt fire brigades had to go out on some missions on Saturday: Heavy rain and squalls swept across the city. A falling part of a roof pierced through a windshield

While only a short rain shower could be noticed in most of them on Saturday afternoon, the fire brigades were deployed in others. Mainly in the city center. Water entered garages. Even trees were knocked down. “Bricks fell from roofs, the underpass in Lastenstrasse was flooded. But nobody was hurt. There are also no basements or garages under water,” said the professional fire brigade shortly before 7 p.m. to the “Krone”. Most of the emergency services have returned. Plate from the roof damaged two cars A metal part of a roof falling from a high-rise caused a stir, breaking through the windshield of a parked car and damaging a second car.
