Heavy rain leads to intense flooding in Austria

STORY: The eyewitness footage showed the water gushing from the waterfall, known as Gasteiner Wasserfall, in the ski town.

Rivers such as the Ötztaler Ache were overflowing with some parts of the region being cut off from the outside while some people had to be evacuated.

Leading into Tuesday (August 29) the situation has calmed down with less severe weather and threats of floods.
