Millions of people had been called to evacuate in advance. There were reports of long traffic jams and fuel shortages. Over 80,000 people sought shelter in emergency shelters, while others decided to stay in their homes. When the authorities could no longer guarantee safe evacuations, they ordered people to barricade themselves on site.
Rescue workers are now working at full speed to get an overview of the situation. The clean-up work should also begin as soon as possible.
