A rare waterspout caused by a tornado has struck the German port city of Kiel, throwing people from boats and damaging property.
Several rowers out in the water were injured as winds of over 100km/h lashed the northern coast, police said. Four people were seriously hurt in Kiel's dockside area.
The roofs of some buildings were torn off and trees were uprooted.
Waterspouts occur when a tornado forms over oceans, rivers or lakes.
They usually disperse after a few minutes, but they can pose serious danger to boats that get close.
In Kiel, on Germany's Baltic Sea coast, members of a rowing club were thrown into the water and people jumped into the water to pull them to shore.
Several people were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment but were said to be safe. Some 60 rescue workers, including firefighters, were deployed on Wednesday.
