Hailstones cause damage as storm strikes Bavaria

A storm with large hailstones damaged four-fifths of the buildings in a small town in the southern German state of Bavaria, local authorities said Sunday.

The storm swept across the southern part of Bavaria on Saturday. In Kissing, just outside Augsburg, police said 12 people were injured when a beer tent that they were trying to put up was blown over.

The worst damage appeared to be in Bad Bayersoien, a municipality of about 1,300 people in the Garmischpartenkirchen region, near the Austrian border.
