„Meteo LT“: storms of this scale are more frequent in Lithuania in autumn, tree foliage increased the damage this time

It is because of the tree foliage, that weight caused a lot of damage, knocking down those trees, breaking wires, because the tree itself is heavier when it has leaves and the wind more easily topples it with all its roots,“ meteorologist Gytis Valaika told BNS.
