Berlin, Germany: A storm that swept through western Germany on Friday has killed at least one person and injured dozens, local authorities said Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

In Rhineland-Palatinate state, a 38-year-old man died after he was electrocuted when he entered his flooded basement, the police in the city of Koblenz said.

Members of the fire brigade use a ladder lift to inspect the destroyed facade and roof of a house in Paderborn, western Germany on May 21, 2022, the day after a storm caused major damage. Almost 40 people were injured, several seriously, on May 20 in a tornado which hit the western German city of Paderborn, the police and fire brigade said. A police spokesman said the tornado also caused significant damage in the city in the North Rhine-Westphalia state, following abnormally high temperatures for the time of year. AFP PHOTO
