stormy times in Lower Austria

At the same time, Lower Austria suffered from the consequences of a severe storm that triggered numerous fire brigade operations on Tuesday evening. As reported on Vienna.at, the districts of Amstetten, Melk and St. Pölten were particularly affected. Over 100 damage cases were reported, with fallen trees blocked by streets and partially fell on electricity and telephone lines. For example, a tree fell on a overhead line of ÖBB in Allhartsberg and thus caused further complications. Despite the tense situation, the damage remained alleviated compared to the initial forecasts, which only partially reduces the unpleasant experience of the affected residents.

The firefighters faced the challenge of eliminating fallen trees and securing damaged roofs. While the clean -up work continued, the population was asked to remain vigilant and to take appropriate safety precautions for further storm warnings. Overall, the fire brigades had been hit by unprecedented weather, which were in a direct race against time to cope with the chaos.
