Heavy rain was recorded during the night of Saturday December 21 to Sunday December 22 in Obernai and surrounding areas, swelling the rivers.
The Ehn was close to overflowing in places in Meistratzheim according to our correspondent on site. At the Niedernai measuring station, its flow rate exceeded 5,000 liters per second around 8 a.m., although it has never reached 900 liters per second for a month.
Other overflows and partially flooded roads were noted. A first problem was noted around 9 a.m. on the D426, which allows you to bypass Obernai from the south. The road was flooded.

The treatment of this problem seems to have generated reflux which was concentrated at the Parc d'Obernai hotel, route d'Ottrott. The road was cut but traffic was still possible through the Consulates district. Firefighters responded to the flooding of a residential cellar at this location.
The cycle path between Obernai and Niedernai was flooded at the level of the rainwater storage basin. At midday, however, it remained passable by bike at low speed.
One of our correspondents also informs us that the Kirneck is in flood in Valff.
