Violent storms swept through Poland on Sunday, triggering over 1,500 emergency responses by the State Fire Service, with significant damage reported to infrastructure and transport across multiple regions. <\/p>\n
The State Fire Service reported that as of 8:00 PM, over 1,500 emergency calls had been logged due to the storm front. The highest volume of interventions occurred in the Ma\u0142opolskie (620), \u015al\u0105skie (370), and Lubelskie (227) voivodeships.<\/p>\n
In Targanice, a tree fell onto a horse-drawn carriage carrying twelve people, resulting in five adults requiring medical attention; their lives are not in danger. In Bielsko-Bia\u0142a, a tree branch fell onto a public bus, while another tree struck a moving car, though no injuries were reported in either incident. Two boats also capsized on Lake \u017bywieckie.<\/p>\n
In the Lubelskie voivodeship, specifically Bia\u0142a Podlaska, services responded to nearly 180 calls since 3:00 PM. Most interventions involved flooded streets, properties, and underground garages.<\/p>\n
Flooding affected the underground corridors of the Provincial Specialist Hospital in Bia\u0142a Podlaska. Heavy rainfall displaced traffic infrastructure at the Janowska Street roundabout construction site, and multiple parked vehicles were submerged in the Kr\u00f3lowej Jadwigi and Ksi\u0119cia Witolda street areas.<\/p>\n
Social media users have shared footage of large hailstones in locations such as Skocz\u00f3w and Bia\u0142y Dunajec. A PiS parliamentarian also released video of a heavy downpour near Krakow on the Zakopianka road.<\/p>\n
The Government Security Center issued alerts for Sunday across several voivodeships, warning of strong winds and hail. The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management has issued first, second, and third-degree warnings for 15 voivodeships, forecasting rainfall up to 50 mm and wind gusts reaching up to 100 km\/h in some areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
