After a storm with heavy rain, the fire departments were deployed on Sunday in the Mostviertel region of Lower Austria.

According to the district command, in Haidershofen in the Amstetten district, a district with 800 residents was cut off from the surrounding area for several hours due to the flooding of two underpasses after the storm.
