No casualties have been reported so far, but the situation is considered “very complicated” and “somewhat dramatic” by local police. According to images circulating 24 hours a day on social media, the city of Hall (the land of Salzburg) has been hit hard.

In the videos shared on Twitter, the streams of water rushing through the city streets have the power to impress. An array is particularly frightening. We see a man being carried away by waves of mud. Both residents are absorbed by the current. The third man then tries to save them, but the stream is so violent that they are carried away, clinging to each other, several meters away, miraculously coming out of the catastrophic current, before being stopped against a wall. . Around them, muddy water rises.
