The roof flew out of school
In Meilen ZH there was a storm so strongly that it took the roof of a makeshift elementary school. The images from the reader-athlete show the scope of the damage. “I live right next to it.

At the time of the incident, FC Meilen training was held on the nearby football field. “The coaches responded immediately and the children brought to safety,” he adds.
Another reader of Blick also witnessed the “flying” roof: after a light athletics training, strong winds with lightning and thunder were triggered. “I heard the hissing that lasted 5-7 seconds, like the fireworks. When I turned, I saw the roof flying through the air and then it turned out.” A few minutes, after 8:00 pm, the sirens were heard.
The Cantona Police in Zurich confirmed the intervention in Blick’s questions, but did not provide any further information. However, according to current shots from the reader, cleaning work immediately began. The police did not have after 22:30. An overview of the total scope of damage, said Florian Frei spokesman for Keystone-SDA.
