Probably the most careful driving should be for those driving on the road from Vievis to Grigiškės. More than one driver reported that the first lane here is overwhelmed by trees broken by wind and storms.
Many have speculated that a similar situation exists on many other roads leading to Vilnius around the capital.
Trees also grew in the capital itself. Readers reported that on Geležinio Vilko Street, almost at the junction with Žalgirio Street, a tree broken by a storm lay in the first lane of traffic.

Another portal reader also reported power outages. According to him, due to heavy rains and wind, the electricity supply was interrupted throughout the Pilait distrito district in Vilnius.
Several people also reported power outages in Ukmergė. Here, electricity was temporarily lost even in several supermarkets.
A veritable cascade of rainwater formed in the very center of the capital: there was so much water near the Halle market that it reached the threshold of some cars.
Delfi’s reader Gintaras reported that it is difficult to cross Žirmūnų street. And Delfi’s reader, Ligita, contacted the portal and shared videos of Antakalnis. Here, the rain drowned the streets in such a way that some cars could not cross the streets turned into lakes: they stopped with emergency lights and could no longer move.
Throughout Lithuania, mainly in Vilnius county, isolated power supply disturbances and failures caused by heavy lightning and rain were observed, but residents of other districts were left without power.
