The major areas hit were Basel, Zurich, and the Bernese Jura.
The train station at Zurich airport had to be closed after water entered the tunnels. There could be some delays this morning as engineers assess the damage.

One fireman swam in a flooded underpass in Herzogenbuchsee in canton Bern to make sure there were no drivers left in trapped cars.
