The severe storm that hit Skopje on July 21 saw a hurricane-intensity wind, reaching speeds of 130 kilometers per hour. Mayor Gjorgjievski has said emergency crews from relevant institutions are continuing their activities on the ground.
Fallen roof structures of certain buildings caused major problems for residents. As a result, the Skopje Mayor said there would be structural inspections, particularly focusing on older buildings throughout the capital.
Material damage was caused in Shtip, too, where the maximum wind speed, 134 kilometers per hour, was measured at 5:00 p.m.
Damage was also reported in other cities affected by the storm, including Kumanovo, Veles, Tetovo, Kochani and Strumica, where in addition to damaged electrical infrastructure, reports were filed regarding agricultural damage, including destroyed greenhouses and crops.
