Hurricane in the Baltic region brings extensive damage, particularly to a furniture store

In the aftermath of the July 31st, 2023 flood in Rostock-Bentwisch, online searches have yielded no information about the specific impact on the Hoefner furniture store. The search results instead focus on flood incidents in other locations and unrelated dates.

However, further investigation reveals that the flood did indeed cause damage in Rostock-Bentwisch. The Hanse Centre and local sports club FSV Bentwisch were both affected, with the clubhouse significantly impacted. Contrary to initial reports, no sofas were seen floating around.

Two basements were pumped out, and the volunteer fire departments of Bentwisch, Moenchhagen, and Roevershagen were all involved in the response. The nearby districts of Dierkow, Toitenwinkel, and Hinrichsdorf experienced water on the streets reaching up to 30 centimeters deep in some places.

In the industrial area of Bentwisch, numerous incidents occurred, with several storm drains blocked, and water barely able to drain from the streets.

Despite the challenges, Hoefner furniture store was able to reopen fully on Friday. Cleanup efforts continued in the upper floors, but no sections were closed to the public. As a result of the water damage, Hoefner is offering "sensational discounts of up to 80 percent on many individual items."

To aid in the recovery process, turbo fans were used to dry out the affected areas, and the Hoefner staff immediately pitched in to help. The fire department also arrived with water pumps to contain any potential fire damage.

While online search results may not provide a comprehensive account of the flood's impact on Hoefner furniture store in Rostock-Bentwisch, local news archives, official municipal reports, or direct statements from affected businesses around that date may offer more accurate data.
