A violent storm led to numerous police operations in Upper Franconia. This morning, between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m., the authorities were confronted with a total of 127 operations. The situation posed a challenge as fallen trees and fallen branches blocked roads, putting the safety of road users at risk.

The emergency services from the Upper Franconian police departments worked in close cooperation with the local fire departments to eliminate the dangers. The police officers visited all the dangerous places, secured the area and promptly began clearing obstacles in order to reopen the traffic routes.
