Klaipeda is stormy. The speed of the wind gusts is 27 meters per second, the waves of the sea rise to one and a half meters. And all this is crowned by sudden but heavy rains. Here, the new location of the Klaipeda Vaccination Center is marked by the wind. Due to such nature, shipping in the port of Klaipeda is restricted.
Eduardas Ringis, the deputy captain of the port, states: “Currently, 3 ships are waiting to enter the port, 6 are leaving. There were no events, they were properly prepared for that. The consequence of a storm is not only the wind. It is a wave. The wave limits the ability to drop off or board the pilot on board. Consequently, even when the wind dies down, the swell does not disappear immediately. “
While the boats are standing still, the firefighters have their own year of work.
Although the wind peaked in the morning, firefighters were already driving at night to remove the boiled trees. Work continues throughout the day.
Juozas Vintilas, representative of the Klaipėda fire brigade, says: “The trees and branches fell on the cars. Damaged car. We had 8 outings in the district, in one of them: a tree in three cars boiled in Taurage ”.
However, it is not just old or rotten trees that break up the streets and streets of the port city. The wind devastated the Botanical Garden of Klaipeda University. It broke valuable and rare plants that came from less windy lands.
Asta Klimienė, coordinator of the Botanical Garden of Klaipėda University, says: “Probably the problems of all gardens, nurseries or parks when we have such beautiful plants, but not of our countries.”
The rains also bring their own problems. Part of the streets of Klaipėda are impassable.
Especially difficult in neighborhoods with narrow roads. So that people cannot enter their backyards through the flooded streets. Klaipedans who left their cars in the morning were not so lucky.
Not only that, the storm travels all over the coast. Here are pictures of Rusnė, the wind cut the power lines, left part of the island without electricity. The situation is similar in other coastal areas.
Domas Jurevičius, representative of Ignitis, says: “An hour ago, there were 2,500 customers affected. In the entire Klaipeda region. But in such cases, we increase our forces and instead of the usual 9 brigades, we work 15. The repair time is an hour and a half ”.
Yet while some seaside residents ponder how to turn around until the power returns, while others deal with their sunken cars, some Klaipeda residents and city visitors are drawn to the sea to admire the huge waves. Its water and rain get soaked in an instant, but the mood doesn’t spoil it.
“And what are you going to fear here? How many days do we have these issues? It is not so often that you go out to see a sea like this. It’s a lot of fun, “says the resident.
“It’s fun to see a sea like this infrequently. Especially in summer,” says another.
“Patience and good clothes and good humor”, says the neighbor of the sea.
Meteorologists predict that the wind in the port city will rest until tomorrow. Then the firefighters call to take care of their property, and the Klaipeda neighbors warn those who want to come to the sea to get sticks or picks, because it is practically impossible to stay on the pier.
