Storm emergency called off in Western Bohemia

Homes in Western Bohemia have been reconnected to the grid after weekend storms left tens of thousands without power. The worst affected districts were around Karlovy Vary, Tachov and northern Plzeň where high winds downed trees and power cables on Saturday. One person was killed by a falling tree. At one stage around half of the region was without power. Storms also caused flooding in parts of the centre and east of the country with rivers still at flood danger levels around the east Bohemian town Chrudim on Monday morning.
