Harbor on Föhr is flooded - Storm Joshua Floods Föhr, Cancels Ferry Sailings
The North Frisian island of Föhr is grappling with severe weather conditions. Storm Joshua, which has been battering the North Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein, caused significant flooding on the island. As a result, the ferry Uthlande was unable to depart, leading to the cancellation of afternoon and evening sailings by the Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei.
Earlier in the day, the German Weather Service recorded hurricane-force gusts along the coast. These strong winds, coupled with heavy rainfall, led to the flooding of the harbor on Föhr. The ferry Uthlande, which operates between the island and the mainland, was unable to leave due to the high water levels and poor weather conditions. The Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei subsequently canceled all afternoon and evening sailings to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
The storm, named Joshua, is expected to continue sweeping across northern Germany until the evening. While there is no information available about the captain of the Uthlande or the storm's direct impact on the ship's operations, the ferry service's disruption highlights the storm's significant influence on maritime travel in the region.
