In Nagold (Calw district), a fallen construction fence damaged a parked car. In Kirchentellinsfurt (Tübingen district), a boat capsized on the quarry pond. Neither the boat driver nor the boat were injured. In Dettingen an der Erms (Reutlingen district), a traffic sign was blown over and blocked the road.

Severe disruption to rail traffic
Deutsche Bahn had already announced on Twitter in the morning that there could be impairments and speed reductions in rail traffic. Travelers should therefore inform themselves regularly about their connection. The railway line between Engen (Konstanz district) and Immendingen (Tuttlingen district) was closed until shortly before 4 p.m. due to a fallen tree. The tree on the tracks blocked the Stuttgart-Zurich and Stuttgart-Singen connections. A rail replacement service was set up. The route of the Breisgau S-Bahn between Breisach and Gottenheim (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district) is still closed – because of another fallen tree. Many people have to wait at the Himmelreich train station, for example.
