Baden-Württemberg: Storm blows the roof of the material hall: probably millions of euros in damage

Bad Wurzach (dpa / lsw) - In Bad Wurzach in the Ravensburg district, the roof of a material hall was swept away during a storm. It is now 300 meters from the destroyed building, according to the Ravensburg police on Friday evening. Investigators said it was a tornado. There were no injuries, it said.

According to an initial estimate, the damage amounts to around one million euros, but the actual extent is still unclear, since a structural engineer must first examine the building, it said. From the Eintürnen district, officials were also reported to have had a tin roof of a machine hall that had been blown off, the police added. No other major damage was initially known.

In the evening, the German Weather Service had warned of strong thunderstorms with local lightning strikes and downpours in the Tübingen administrative district.
