(Translation of Donnerstag newspaper)
June 9, 2004
The tempest which swept over Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein yesterday morning caused damage to the value of serveral million (euros). The lightning strikes caused rail delays of approxinately 1 hour between Keil and Hamburg.
Nothing could save the wind turbine in the Wulfhagen wind park. Even with a fire appliance the firefighters could not reach the fire which was at a height of 65 metres (213 feet).
The fire raged for six hours.
