Sturm devastated Stuhr: Garage tears off and crashes against the house!

On Sunday, October 13, 2024, a violent storm in Lower Saxony, especially in the municipality of Stuhr, caused considerable damage. According to the fire brigade spokesman Nils Conrad, the emergency services became active in several places to cope with the consequences of the storm. The storm not only brought trees overturned, but also threw an almost 15 -meter garage against a residential building.

The Seckenhausen fire brigade was later called to the street "on the oaks" at around 3:05 a.m. The alarm message was that the roof should have been covered with a garage. When she arrived, it turned out that the storm had torn the entire garage. In order to achieve the site, the firefighters first had to remove a fallen tree crown.

When the fire brigade finally reached the damage area, the situation was more drastic than initially assumed. The sheet metal garage stood upright on the wall of an adjacent house and was completely torn from its anchoring. The stability of the house was not at risk because the fire brigade quickly pulled the garage back onto the floor with a rescue vehicle and other brinkum forces to prevent further damage. Thanks to the courageous use of the fire brigade, worse could be prevented, and nobody had been injured either.

Overall, the operation took around 1.5 hours. The police found that the damage on the house wall was minimal. In parallel to this incident, the storm also caused a sensation in Vechta, where a tornado partially covered the roof of the district house.

The fire brigade in Stuhr was employed with a total of four missions on Sunday night. At 4:30 a.m., a tree lying across the road had to be removed on the playground in Groß Mackenstedt. In Seckenhausen, too, the fire brigade was challenged on Sunday morning at 8:56 a.m. when another tree was overturned due to the storm.

The authorities remain vigilant, since further hurricane -like gusts will be predicted in the coming days. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop while the fire brigade is still ready to react to such weather events. You can get more information about this here .
