Neu-Ulm (dpa / lby) – A 15-meter high maple tree fell into an apartment building in Swabia during a thunderstorm. Lightning struck the tree on Wednesday night, police said. Some of the branches crashed into the roof of the building in Neu-Ulm, damaging several windows, the gutter and some bricks.
Despite the force and many broken glass in the apartments, no one was injured. Because there was no acute danger from the tree, it stayed in place during the night. The police estimated the damage at several thousand euros, but exact figures were not initially known.
