Heavy storms are moving over Bavaria again. This time it hit the village of Bad Bayersoien particularly badly. Even the emergency was declared. About destroyed roofs, shocked residents and luck in misfortune.
The rain is pattering on the ground in Bad Bayersoien, ordinary rainy weather. The fact that there were scenes here on Saturday afternoon that were tantamount to a “state of war,” as a local resident describes it, initially sounds like an exaggeration. But then you see the tarpaulins hanging like plaster over almost every roof. The streets are smashed bricks that have been swept from the roofs. Battered cars are parked at the side of the road, a convoy of fire brigade, police, technical relief organization (THW) and mountain rescue service drives by. A wounded place.
