Storm Gusts Topple Trees in Dresden as Cleanup Continues

Feuerwehr Dresden crews are on site clearing fallen branches, loose tiles, debris ahead of calmer weather due mid-week.

Overview

  • On June 8, storm gusts reached about 72 km/h, uprooting trees across Dresden and sending a large oak branch crashing onto a Fetscherplatz bistro.
  • Feuerwehr Dresden crews secured the Fetscherplatz site and worked into Monday morning removing fallen branches, loose roof tiles and other storm-related debris.
  • Two vehicles were struck by falling trees, sustaining damage, though no injuries were reported during the incidents.
  • While the bistro’s roof was visibly damaged, firefighters say the building remained structurally sound and a specialist firm has been hired to remove the branch safely.
  • Meteorologists forecast the weather to settle by mid-week, with temperatures climbing toward 30 °C by the weekend of June 14.
