Stormy Weather Wreaks Havoc in Northeast Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Sleet and high winds in the northeastern part of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern resulted in numerous fallen trees and obstructions on roads, leading to several accidents. The police in Vorpommern-Greifswald reported three incidents in their district alone on Friday, thankfully without any injuries.
The harsh weather conditions also affected residents in the Greifswald and Stralsund areas, with 17 weather-related operations recorded by the authorities on Friday. One incident near Strelasund saw a tree fall onto a car, but fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
While the stormy weather led to significant disruptions, residents didn't let it dampen their spirits completely. In Marlow, a Christmas tree landed on two parked cars, and in Ribnitz-Damgarten, a bouncy castle was swept onto the road by the storm. However, once again, there were no injuries reported.
In addition to the fallen trees, other debris, like a loose sheet of metal from a shopping center canopy in Greifswald and a cover plate on a country road, also caused issues. The fire department was called to remove the metal from the Möwencenter shopping center, and the cover plate had to be removed as well.
The harsh weather conditions seemed to affect the entire region, with reports of snow and ice-related traffic accidents in northern Germany, including Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein, on February 14, 2025.
