storm in Hesse: Community mission against the forces of nature

A violent storm has required numerous police and rescue workers in Hesse. The forces of nature led to flooded streets, overturned trees and crowded cubes. Cities such as Offenbach, Dietzenbach, Hanau and the Main-Kinzig-Kreis.

were particularly affected

in Dietzenbach, an S-Bahn underpass had to be temporarily blocked due to the heavy rains. In Offenbach, the police reported primarily on the streets. There were around 30 missions in the Mainz-Kinzig district due to the storm. Flooded roads, overturned trees and flying objects were created to the emergency services.

Some drivers came in accidents due to aquaplaning, but fortunately there were no injuries to complain about. Falled trees had to be cleared by the lanes on motorways such as the A45 and the A66. Even on the federal road 43a between Hanau-Hauptbahnhof and Hanau-Wolfgang, the water was temporarily on the road, which led to a block.

The operations of the rescue workers once again showed how important a rapid reaction to natural forces is like storms. The cooperation between the police, fire brigade and other aid organizations was crucial to contain the consequences of the storm in Hesse and to ensure the safety of the population. - nag
