Berlin : At least three people drowned and several people were injured overnight as torrential rain and lightning hit Germany’s southwestern region, press reports said.
Two female victims died in the car as they were trapped by the heavy rain while another woman drowned in the basement of her home.
Rescue workers tried to reach people stranded overnight by the flooding.
Many highways, roads and railway tracks were flooded while power cuts left several towns and villages in the dark as a result of the lightning.
Local fired departments were working around the clock to pump out water from the homes and shops and remove fallen trees in the rain-struck area.
