In Kremsbrücke, a car is almost completely buried under a stream of debris, the police report. At Rennweg, police patrols and residents were temporarily trapped between multiple mudslides. Some uprooted trees blocked the roads. Roads in the storm area were initially closed. The huge hailstones were reported from the municipality of Lurnfeld in the Drautal.
A 31-year-old foil surfer who became distressed during the storm was rescued from Lake Millstätter. In foil surfing, the surfboard practically floats above the water surface thanks to a hydrofoil. (aeg/sda/dpa)
