Flash floods in Germany

Severe weather conditions, including thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, have led to significant flooding and damage across multiple regions, including parts of Germany and Jammu. In Germany, the Franconia region experienced extensive flooding, with reports of cars sinking in inundated streets and a thunderstorm causing €5 million in damages due to a fire linked to lightning. Meanwhile, Jammu faced flash floods that submerged homes and disrupted traffic, with a reported 112 mm of rainfall in just 24 hours, leading to landslides and one confirmed death. In Khrew, South Kashmir, excessive rainfall triggered flash floods, overwhelming local drainage systems and affecting shops and crops. Local officials in both areas are assessing the damage and preparing for potential future storms. As the weather continues to be a concern, residents and authorities are urged to remain vigilant and prepared for further rainfall.
