Severe Storms Devastate Lake Balaton Region
Supercell thunderstorms unleash hail and destructive winds across Veszprém County.
On Tuesday, powerful supercell thunderstorms swept through western Hungary, particularly affecting the Lake Balaton area.
In Tapolca, hailstorms resulted in streets being covered in ice, while in Badacsony, strong winds uprooted a garage.
The severe weather caused significant damage across the region, prompting urgent responses from local firefighters.
The storms, characterized by intense rainfall and hail, rapidly transformed the landscape, as dark clouds quickly obfuscated the sky, leading to widespread fear among residents.
Reports indicated hailstones of substantial size striking the ground, with videos documenting the chaos as ice hammered onto surfaces, including vehicles, sidewalks, and nearby water bodies.
Firefighters worked continuously throughout the evening to address the aftermath of the storm, dealing with a range of incidents related to the severe weather conditions.
The authorities had issued a second-level weather alert for the area, a warning that was timely considering the ferocity of the storm's impact.
As the storms passed, they left behind battered gardens, flooded basements, and debris from buildings.
The aftermath serves as a stark reminder of the powerful forces of nature that can strike with little warning, affecting both urban and rural areas within the region.
