Severe Thunderstorm hits German Town

On May 28 in the late morning hours a supercell formed above Luxembourg, moved along the Belgian-German border and crossed the town of Moenchengladbach at 11 a.m. There was a rainfall of about 50 litres / square meter in less than an hour. There were about 10 minutes of almost complete darkness which was very unusual and eerie caused by those towering clouds reaching up to 13 km.

@19PeterF68 Do you mean Melbourne?

These supercells will usually move in an eastward direction but in usual cases can move directly south as the case of the big 2010 storm that hit perth western australia and in this case in germany was moving north. Did this storm have features such as a wall cloud, lowering or look like there's a tornado like you would in the midwestern united states?
