Berlin, 21 May 2022 (dpa/MIA) - Several people were injured across Germany after a powerful storm and tornadoes hit the country on Friday evening. The German weather service confirmed on Saturday morning that three tornadoes hit parts of the North Rhine Westphalia state. According to its report, tornadoes were registered in Paderborn, Lippstadt and in Lütmarsen, a district of the Höxter town. In Paderborn, some 43 people were injured, the police told dpa on Saturday. Among them, there were seriously injured and one person was flown to a hospital in Bielefeld, around 50 kilometres away. There was major damage to buildings in a commercial area and extensive clean-up work will be necessary, the police said. In Lippstadt, the storm also caused severe damage, but there were no casualties, a police spokesperson said on Saturday morning. The main concern are the damaged roofs and fallen trees. "Everything has to be cleaned up after such chaos," the spokesperson said. Some areas in the city centre of Lippstadt were cordoned off as precaution. Several other parts of Germany were also affected by the heavy storm. In Bavaria, 14 people were injured, among them several children, after a wooden hut collapsed on Friday evening. According to the police, several holidaymakers sought shelter in the 85-square-metre hut, which tipped and collapsed during the storm. In the city of Leipzig, the German metal band Rammstein had to interrupt their concert for 30 minutes due to a thunderstorm. Some 45 minutes after the show started, fans were asked to seek shelter, but were allowed back inside the arena after 15 minutes.
