Photo: DPAHours of monsoon-style rain in Berlin on Thursday flooded busy streets and led trees to collapse onto train lines. The rain started shortly after midday and still hadn’t stopped by the evening. The A100, one of the busiest roads in Germany, was also shut down in the west of the city near the Funkturm. The Berlin Transport Company (BVG) also announced that the U9 metro line had been partially closed. In Charlottenburg, in the west of the city, a building was evacuated after fire services deemed it at risk of collapsing.
