After heavy rain, parts of downtown Hallen near Salzburg in Austria were flooded. Police confirmed Saturday that the stream has developed into a raging stream, and can be viewed online.
“The situation is very tense and dramatic at times,” a police spokesman said. The videos show how cars are carried away by water blocks. Residents have already been called to be vigilant and not to go into the cellars.
There are no reports of injuries or deaths
According to the fire brigade, there were no reports of missing, injured, or even dead people late in the evening. State fire brigade chief Gunter Trinker said people who were confined to their homes were rescued with the help of boats or trucks.
