The storm was reportedly centered in the Ostalb district near the state border with Bavaria. Numerous vehicles were reportedly underwater and emergency services had to rescue stranded motorists from their vehicles.
Authorities also reported rising flood waters trapping people in houses and businesses with roads closed in the chaos. A state government spokesman told the DPA news agency early Monday that reliable casualty figures weren`t available. But he said numerous resources had been deployed in the region as rescue efforts continued.
