- Story Text: Flash flooding hit parts of Berlin on Thursday (August 3) after sudden heavy storms swept through the city.
In the south-eastern district of Zehlendorf, one driver was stranded inside his car, which was submerged in water, until passers-by hauled it out with a rope.
Hardy cyclists and pedestrians sloshed through flooded streets, as drains bubbled over with floodwater.
Nearby in Kleinmachnow, road conditions were treacherous as lashing rain reduced visibility. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
