– It was scary. I didn’t dare to go home because it was hailing and the wind was unspeakably strong. It’s good to be 50 meters away from the church in Taban, which I knew was there, but I didn’t see it at all. I pulled into a nearby convenience store and passed the sentence there, he said. Petőfi Street was closed on Sunday morning for damage control. The storm raged with the greatest force in the Garden City. There were broken branches and fallen trees everywhere, even on Sunday. The sidewalk in the vicinity of an apartment building on Hóvirág Street was closed with tape. Not without reason. A branch of the tall tree next to the house broke off, but it stopped. If it fell on someone, it would kill them.
A woman walking her dog in Medgyessy Ferenc utca said that she first heard the windstorm in the apartment, then as if ice was knocking, then came the heavy rain. It didn’t look so bad from the inside.
Nobody was injured
“This time of judgment came unexpectedly, out of nowhere.” We talked to the residents outside in front of the block of flats. When the sky started to sing, it also had lightning, we scattered and everyone went home. I watched what was happening from the window. You couldn’t see the stairwell opposite! It was scary. When the rampage died down, I ventured out to look around, one of my friends came with me. Our hearts sank at the sight. Everywhere there were broken branches, fallen giant trees, trees fell on several cars. We can only thank blind luck that no one was killed by the trees, said an old man. Mayor Péter Márki-Zay promised that those homeowners who do not have insurance will try to get quick help to restore their roofs. Twelve professional and six volunteer firefighting units worked continuously to eliminate storm damage. Fortunately, no one was hurt due to the bad weather.
