Leaking roofs or doors also kept the professional fire department busy. In the south of Vienna, the Petersbach and Liesingbach rivers burst their banks in places. “The majority of the operations involved pumping out flooded basements, underground garages, or underpasses,” explained fire department spokesman Jürgen Figerl. “The first storm cell on Saturday around 18:00 mainly affected Donaustadt, the second mainly Döbling, Hietzing, Liesing, the third then brought rain for the entire city.” “On Saturday, there were three storm cells in Vienna, the second of which brought the most precipitation,” Thomas Turecek of ZAMG told Wien heute. The fire brigade was deployed more than 1,400 times in the last 48 hours. Within an hour Saturday night, 15 liters of rain per square meter fell in the capital – as much as in all of the past seven weeks combined, according to the Vienna Professional Fire Department. Vienna has seen heavy rainfalls too, with flooded garages, tunnels, cellars, and U-Bahn stations. The average rainfall there for the entire month of July there is 70 liters per square meter. At the Hohe Warte weather station of the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG), over 96 liters per square meter rain fell in just a few hours. Over the weekend, in some places in Austria, it has rained more than normally falls in the entire month of July – and it is not over yet.
