In and around the city of Freiburg in the state of Baden-Württemberg, police said they were called 600 times for incidents including flooding in basements and streets. City trains in the Bavarian capital Munich were completely stopped overnight and some sections were still closed Friday morning, rail operator Deutsche Bahn said. Southern Germany has been hit by extreme weather: several people were injured when trees fell at a campsite on Lake Constance. Regional rail transportation was also affected. Severe storms hit two campsites on Lake Constance on Germany's border with Switzerland, as a result of which some 1,200 people had to be evacuated overnight. One campground was in Lindau, where six people were injured by by falling trees, one seriously. About 900 people were evacuated from there, and another 300 people were evacuated from a campsite in Friedrichshafen, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) away. Falling trees caused the closure of several regional rail lines in the state and neighboring Baden-Württemberg to the west.
