Over 200 weather adjustments in Bavaria lead to airliner injuries

Hellfire in Bavaria: Storm Mayhem and Record Lightning Strikes

Hey there! Let's venture into the chaos that recently unfurled across Bavaria. Gather 'round for tales of emergency landings, uprooted trees, and a shower of electrical disco balls!

Stormy Shenanigans in Bavaria

Beware, some dirt on assorted regions of Bavaria.

In a whirlwind of meteorological madness, the Beer Country found itself in the grips of intense thunderstorms, and here's the lowdown on the happenings:

The Storm-Ravaged Territory: Valleys and hillsides in Upper Bavaria, Lower Bavaria, the Upper Palatinate and Swabia were battered, turning into a scene straight out of a horror movie. The northern segments of Bavaria were the worst hit, with toppled trees and flooded basements menacing the landscape.
The Flying Circus: Severe turbulence on a passenger aircraft made for an unplanned landing at Memmingen Airport. The plane, call-sign "Berlin to Milan Express," boasted an entourage of 179 passengers and 6 professional minstrels (crew members).
Mishap on the Mile High Club: The aircraft's encounter with an extraterrestrial washing machine transformed the setting into a toboggan ride from hell, leaving seven passengers and one member of the minstrel troupe injured. Three aero-acrobats, a two-year-old child with bruises, a woman with a head wound, and a crew member with back pain were carted off to a local hospital.
The Undercover Maverick: Ryanair, hearing about the unseemly affair, stepped up to the plate, arranging buses as the rickshaws for the lost souls to reach Milan.
The Gonzo Cyclist: Phew! That was a close one! A cyclist in Manching (district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm) had a spill, unwittingly embracing a fallen tree that had been left dangling by the storm. The unlucky cyclist suffered moderate injuries after a rough goodnight kiss with the tree.
Road Trip Accidents: Aquaplaning on the A8 motorway near Munich sent one too many travelers sliding out of control, resulting in a light scratch or two.
Party-Poopers of Zusamaltheim: Talk about a damper on the festive atmosphere! A storm blew a tent cover off and left a trail of damage in its wake at a party in Zusamaltheim. The full extent of the wreckage wasn't immediately determined.
The Retro Grenade Find: Cleaning a flooded basement in Leipheim led to a surprising find: a shrapnel grenade from World War I. After conferring with experts, the constabulary decided that the grenade could be safely stowed away for disposal.
Homes Gone Wild: Rain, wind, and a sprinkling of rebellious spirits apparently constructed a small, rogue tornado in the district of Donaustetten. Roofs of residential buildings were wrenched from their foundations, turning these homes into questionable mobile homes! Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Lightning Strikes Galore: And the cherry on top? Wedneday was the most lightning-struck day of the year as a whole, with 1,681 ground strikes. Compared to previous years, this is one (1) incredible, high but not astronomical value! Cloud-to-cloud lightning was not accounted in these numbers.
