The toilet had been placed on the sidewalk, but was picked up by a gust of wind and flew into traffic.

Hamburg has been rocked by massive thunderstorms, which interrupted train travel, caused numerous traffic accidents and prompted emergency responders to declare a standing alarm.

Lightning strikes started several fires. High winds and heavy rains caused further damage.

Authorities estimate the total cost of the storms will run into millions of euros.
