“The same stubborn gyre of low pressure aloft that triggered flooding rain in Germany and France also triggered thunderstorms in western Germany over the festival Friday night,” said weather.com meteorologist Jon Erdman.
Organizers announced that the event has been suspended. The festival may re-open, if weather conditions allow.
