Also in western Slovakia traffic (traffic) was blocked. On Friday, Slovakian broadcaster Markiza showed images of paved roofs and car crashed by fallen trees. In the capital city of Bratislava, the fire brigade has been called about 200 times.

Local weather stations reported wind speeds of around 130 kilometers per hour.
