Flooded streets, trees torn down, traffic jams, damaged vehicles, and localities without electricity. These are some of the consequences of the last night’s windstorm and rainfall. Contacted by Info-Prim Neo, Diana Turcan, press officer of the Civil Protection and Emergencies Service stated that 21 trees and one billboard were taken down in Chisinau, and seven cars were damaged. Some of the trees fell on electricity cables, some right in the middle of the street and blocked traffic for some time. A house went on fire in the capital.
