Following significant rainfall. - Landslide submerges Thuringian village.
In Fortha, Thuringia, the mud piled up nearly a meter high.
An entire squad of firefighters was dispatched, all armed with brooms and shovels. These helpers worked tirelessly to rid the medieval village near Eisenach, part of the Thuringian Forest and home to close to 800 residents, of the muddy masses. The area's proximity to the Elte river contributed to the calamity.
A local farm was also impacted, requiring manual labor from excavators and wheelbarrows to clear the debris. The firefighters diligently flushed the site for hours on end.
More heavy rains are expected across central Germany.
