Overview

• Coastal waters rose to about two meters above mean high water in some areas on Sunday, and authorities reported at least three weather-related injuries.
• On Norderney, the Umost campsite was inundated and about 80 motorhomes and caravans were submerged, with no injuries reported by a NonstopNews reporter.
• Authorities are examining why the island site was not evacuated even as many mainland campsites were cleared as a precaution.
• Floodwater covered low-lying areas including Hamburg’s Fischmarkt, where firefighters recovered stranded vehicles as the St. Pauli gauge peaked in the afternoon.
• Ferry links were curtailed or canceled across the coast and the cruise ship Aida Perla remained in Hamburg due to an Elbe closure, as DWD forecast easing winds and a smaller surge early Monday.
