On the island of Fechmarn, a 33-year-old woman died in her car, on which a tree fell. There are no reported drownings, Kirchhoff added, but several people are still on their recreational boats. Kirchhoff expects damage from the flood to be in the hundreds of millions of euros. In Flensburg, the highest water level in a century was reached. The streets in the port of Flensburg were under water. In the evening, the utility cut power to parts of the port due to short circuits and small fires in distribution lines.
