The losses affected 3,500 hectares of arable land
An Austrian hail insurance company says about 3,500 hectares of agricultural land in the counties of Gmünd, Waidhofen an der Thaya and Horn are affected.
According to the insurer, the damage occurred primarily to cereals, corn, rapeseed, potatoes and grassland. The storm cells followed very hot weather. The storms absorbed so much energy that the storm center issued its highest warning level, purple. Hurricane gusts exceeding 100 km/h were recorded
