A woman died and at least two others were injured due to severe storms that caused extensive damage overnight across parts of Germany. In Waldorf, Rhineland-Palatinate, a woman was struck by a falling tree and fatally injured, while another suffered serious injuries. Both women were walking together and sought shelter under a covered seating area when the storm hit.
A tornado struck Fürstenwalde, causing roofs to be torn off, damage to several cars, and one injury. In Höhr-Grenzhausen, walls were torn from buildings, resulting in damage to at least two homes and numerous trees being uprooted. Falling debris and strong gusts of wind damaged a truck on the A61 highway. Weather-related emergency calls were widespread in Hesse, Thuringia, and Bavaria.
A village festival in Kronach, Bavaria, was partially evacuated with about 3,500 guests leaving the outdoor area and continuing indoors. In Wetzlar, the storm damaged around 60 houses, with some pieces of roofing blown up to 100 meters away.
