Bad weather hits large parts of Bavaria



Police and fire departments were in continuous use in the region. Particularly affected were Laaber and Painten. 

Heavy thunderstorms hit the region on Thursday evening. The German Weather Service warned of severe weather (4 of 4). And even on Friday morning, the storm is expected to continue in a weakened form.

In Laaber stood on the night of Friday the marketplace 50 to 60 inches high under water. The site management spoke of 20 deployment sites, in the neighboring houses numerous basements had to be pumped out. In Frauenberg also several streets were under water, about 15 basements had to be pumped out.


The fire brigade also had to cope with a large-scale operation in Painten (Kelheim district). In the district Maierhofen streets were 50 centimeters high under water, about 20 cellars had to be pumped out. A total of 150 firefighters were on duty, including the fire brigades from Kelheim, Essing, Painten, Langquaid and Buch. District Administrator Martin Neumeyer was also there. According to Einsatzleiter Wolfgang Kargl, the mission will probably last throughout the night.

Heavy rain leads to traffic accidents

Particularly affected was the northern Upper Palatinate. In the district of Tirschenreuth several cellars ran full, streets were flooded. In Neustadt / Waldnaab burned after lightning strikes two woodpile and a hedge.
At Kümmersbruck in the district of Amberg-Sulzbach a tree fell on a power line and caught fire. The motorway exit Amberg-West had to be closed due to flooding. On the A6 at Schwandorf there were two aquaplaning accidents, but in which nobody was injured.
Also because of the heavy rain crashed a car on the A3 between the junctions Nittendorf and Laaber against the guardrail. Fortunately nobody was injured here either.

Mudslides in Upper Franconia

Heavy rain and thunderstorms have caused in the night on Friday in large parts of Bavaria for full-blown cellars and closed roads. In Upper Franconia, several mudslides dissolved and slipped on police after streets. Parts of a county road had been washed away. Alone in the district of Wunsiedel more than 350 firefighters were in action.
In northern Upper Bavaria, the police had dislocated 42 weather-related missions, a spokesman said in the early morning: basements were full of water and underpasses had to be closed because of flooding. In the Upper Palatinate, police said that fallen trees blocked several streets. In northern Swabia, smaller streets were closed. In the other regions of the Free State, it also rained violently, but no major damage was known.

Fallen bricks obstruct Oberpfalzbahn

The rail traffic was hardly restricted by the storm, as a spokesman said. Since Thursday evening, however, the route of the private Oberpfalzbahn at Marktredwitz (district of Wunsiedel) was closed because of fallen trees. In the Swabian district of Donau-Ries regional traffic was stopped at Otting-Weilheim until early Friday morning, because the heavy rain had flooded the track bed.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
