No reports were received indicating that trees had fallen onto residences, vehicles, or power lines at the time of the assessment. According to the PAGD (Department), the most extensive tree removal operations were concentrated in the Kaunas district (six incidents), the Marijampolė district (three incidents), and the Alytus district (two incidents). Furthermore, a single call for assistance was registered across the Vilnius, Šiauliai, Tauragė, Telšiai, and Utena district areas.
The department noted that although the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service had predicted calm weather for Saturday, firefighters have cautioned against dismissing the potential lingering impacts of the storm that occurred on Friday. As of 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, the department had already logged four separate calls requiring assistance to mitigate the effects of strong winds.
This response follows significant weather events, including reports from Antazavė and Kaunas, and observations of atmospheric formations in Lithuania similar to those that developed into tornadoes. The continued vigilance of emergency services underscores the dynamic nature of post-storm recovery efforts, even when official weather forecasts suggest improvement. The coordinated response across various district authorities remains active to address structural and environmental damage caused by the severe weather.
