    Heavy storms causing floods in Northern Germany

    Yesterday, around 5 in the afternoon, the sky of Hamburg, Germany, turned gray and a strong storm front came over Hamburg. Heavy rainfall up to 50 liters per square meter within 1 hour were measured and documented by pictures of pedestrians. Streets were flooded and the main train station had to be closed, due to the heavy rainfall and pea-sizes hailstones.
