Seven injured in storms in Germany
Berlin (AFP) Jul 23, 2006 Seven people were injured overnight Saturday when a tornado hit Karlsruhe in southwestern Germany and heavy summer storms lashed the country's Bavaria region, local authorities said Sunday. In Hambruecken, a man fell and broke his leg while trying to reinforce the roof of his home during the tornado, police said. The wind damaged at least 50 roofs in the region and uprooted trees, some of which landed on cars and electricity pylons. Four people were struck by lightning in Bavaria. In the area of Aschaffenberg, a woman was hit on the head by a branch that snapped off a tree and a man was hurt in the chest when he tried to cling to a tentpole in the storm.
