Western Switzerland (Le Matin, Fre and TSR, Fre) РStorms late Monday and during the night caused flooding and mudslides in several areas, with Bern, Jura Bernois and Fribourg hardest hit. The CFF rail lines were down on the Bern-Fribourg line early Tuesday morning because of a mudslide in Flamatt. Ponies were up to their chests in water that flooded their quarters at the Cr̩mines zoo, before they could be pulled to safety, but tigers were the most panic-stricken, especially when large hail hit, Le Matin reports the zoo director as saying.
