Many reports on damage after heavy rain in Jutland

The rain poured down in several places in Jutland during Tuesday to the frustration of many homeowners, who had water penetrating behind the walls. On Tuesday afternoon, insurance companies reported more than 350 claims due to the heavy rain in Jutland, according to insurance company Tryg, which has received more than 200 notifications, and the companies Codan and Almindelig Brand, which have received more than 150 notifications. “It’s a significantly higher level. We have seen many cloudbursts over the summer, so we have become accustomed to a high level. But this, it is absolutely very high,” said Frederik Sjørslev Søgaard, Claims Director at Tryg. Tryg states that the reports are primarily about building damage, but there are also examples of flooded cars that have stopped in parking lots with high water levels. The company expects the number of injuries to increase further. /ritzau/
