Kiel (AP) – According to the police, a tornado whirled several people through the air in Kiel early on Wednesday evening and washed them into the water.
The fire brigade announced that four people were seriously injured in the event at the keel line. Three people also suffered moderate injuries. There were also several slightly injured people.
Several people were on a jetty to secure two rowing boats, the fire department reported. “They were completely mixed up and people fell into the water.” Some had blown objects on their heads.
“On the basis of pictures, we assume that it is a tornado,” said Michael Bauditz from the German Weather Service (DWD) of the German Press Agency. He can’t say for good yet.
In mid-August, a tornado caused severe damage in East Frisia. Torn house gables, overturned vehicles and countless fragments of roofs and fences bear witness to the force with which the tornado hit the community of Großheide. According to the fire brigade, nobody was injured at the time.
