The fire service said, it rescued several people from cars that got stuck on flooded streets in the western city of Duisburg. Shops were flooded and streets inundated in the northern city of Braunschweig, and there were similar reports from Kassel. In Hattersheim, near Frankfurt, trees fell on houses and cars.
