Clean-up work underway in Karlovy Vary in wake of severe storms

Clean-up work is underway in the Karlovy Vary region where severe storms flooded streets, felled trees and even caused mudslides on Tuesday afternoon. Firefighters were called to 18 emergencies in the space of an hour. Moravská Street in the historical centre of Karlovy Vary, where torrential rain undermined cobblestones, will reportedly be closed for some time. According to preliminary estimates the damage caused will amount to tens of millions of crowns. A storm warning for the whole country remains in place on Wednesday.
