Images circulating online depict significant damage at the Seniavos cemetery, showing overturned and broken trees that have impacted gravesites. The visible evidence includes broken gravestones, damaged or overturned grave structures, and numerous fallen trees. One reader noted the extent of the damage, stating, “Everyone writes about torn roofs, but look at how devastated the Seniavos cemetery is.
This is our grandmother’s grave, which was damaged during a storm. There are more damaged graves, but the exact extent of the damage is not yet known.”
Initial reports indicate that the primary cause of the damage was strong winds that swept across the Kaunas region on Friday evening, accompanied by storm clouds. These powerful winds resulted in fallen trees, which have impacted multiple gravesites.
A Kaunas resident, Robertas Juknevičius, shared documentation of the storm’s aftermath on the social media platform Facebook. The debris and structural issues suggest that the full scope of the damage remains undetermined. The impact of the recent storm has affected various parts of the cemetery, leading to concerns regarding the preservation of the historic burial ground.
