on Saturday,
German authorities deployed
snowplows in the southwestern city of
Reutlingen, after a severe hailstorm covered parts of the city, sometimes up to
30 centimeters thick.
A
city official told news agencies that a "local storm with hail and heavy
rain" hit the downtown area on Friday afternoon and evening. The fire brigade said it was called out more
than 120 times due to the sudden storm.
"The
first operations involved people who were locked in their cars and unable to
move," said a spokesman for the Emergency Response Center.
Authorities sent in snow plows to clear the
streets, and more than 250 emergency and city workers and volunteers took part
in the clean-up.
A
city spokesman said hail and tree leaves blocked the city's drainage system,
causing flooding in underground parking lots, basements, and apartment
buildings.
