The capital Saarbruecken was badly affected while dykes were breached in several areas, causing power to fail or be shut down as a precaution.No deaths were reported but at least one person was injured.Chancellor Olaf Scholz, visiting a village in the affected area, said that "we can see here what violence nature can cause and how much we have to constantly prepare for such events". He praised the work of emergency services in helping local residents and promised help for those affected by the disaster.Saarland state premier Anke Rehlinger said that authorities still did not have a complete picture of the damage but it was expected to be "considerable". The heavy rains had eased early on Saturday, however, and a severe weather warning for the area was lifted. There was also flooding in the German states of Rheinland-Palatinate, Baden-Wuerttemberg and Hesse.About 850 workers from the federal relief agency were dispatched to Saarland to help tackle the floods, joining several thousand people in the state, many of them volunteers, the interior ministry said.
