Storms in Moravia damage property, uproot trees

Severe night storms in the eastern part of the country have damaged property and uprooted trees causing transport problems. Hailstones and high winds damaged roofs and glass houses and fire crews were repeatedly called to deal with fallen trees on roads and private property. In the early hours of Saturday a train hit a steel construction from an overhead bridge which may have been loosened by the storm. Fortunately the train was not derailed and no one was hurt in the incident.
