Moselle. Rivers overflow in northern Moselle after melting snow and rain

It’s definitely a weekend not to set foot outside! After the weather alert for snow and ice during the night from Saturday to Sunday, the situation is becoming tense on the waterways in the Thionville region this Sunday, January 5. Melting snow and accumulation of precipitation cause small streams to emerge from their beds: Kuntzig the Bibiche floods the fields copiously. HAS Buding a village where floods caused extensive damage last spring, the Canner has just passed over the bridge located at the entrance to the town coming from Metzervisse. The road is now closed so that no one gets into a dangerous situation. A little further east still, Sierck-les-Bains an alert was issued around 3 p.m.: people who have parked their vehicle on rue du Moulin or in the nearby area are asked to move it urgently. Indeed, the Montenach stream, which crosses the center of the town, is growing in a worrying manner. Here too, the floods were devastating in the spring and the anxiety of certain residents has not subsided since. A few kilometers away, at Luxembourg the flood forecasting service and Météolux raised the flood alert in the country from yellow to orange this Sunday around 2 p.m.
