We live as long as we fly

Photo report - Hurricane

Was coming back from Aglona, got caught in a hurricane. It passed in just 15 minutes, true, but it caused a lot of trouble. In one spot you couldn't drive through at all, a power line was hanging right above the ground. The reckless ones kept pushing through anyway. As for us, we fell 40 meters short of the bus stop and ran into the bushes so we wouldn't get blown away — that's how strong the wind was.

A large fallen tree trunk lies in the foreground against a wet asphalt road with moving cars. Birch trees and other trees grow along the road, and a brick building is visible in the distance under a gloomy sky. A large tree fallen onto the road has blocked traffic on a gloomy rainy day. Several cars have stopped in front of the blockage, including a police patrol car with flashing lights on. A wet road after a storm with puddles and many fallen branches, partially blocked by fallen trees on the left. On the right by the road stands a pole with two signs: 'No overtaking' and 'Speed limit 70'. A wet asphalt road with a large fallen branch blocking part of the lane, and scattered debris after bad weather. There is a strip of trees on both sides of the road. Two women walk barefoot on a green lawn past several fallen trees with uprooted roots. One trunk lies across the path, residential buildings are visible in the background.

A wet street with puddles after the rain, partially blocked by a large fallen tree with green foliage, against the background of a residential building and other trees.

Debris of a destroyed wooden structure and roofing material are scattered on a paved area. Parked cars, tall trees, and residential buildings are visible in the background, creating a post-storm scene. A fallen tree lies on the grass of a sports field behind a soccer goal combined with a basketball backboard. Residential buildings and trees under an overcast sky are visible in the background. A rural street with puddles on a dirt road, surrounded by wooden houses with shuttered windows and thick green trees. A white pole with two satellite dishes is visible on the right. An uprooted birch tree lies across the tracks next to a wet asphalt highway and a multi-story residential building.

 

A shirtless man, clearly wet, with a grimace or smile wrings out a yellow-blue object in his hands, standing under a canopy. A bicycle with touring luggage is parked nearby, and a rainy road with cars is visible in the background. A rainy city street with wet asphalt and fallen tree branches. The building of a 'Pārtikas Veikals' store and a person standing under the trees can be seen in the background.

Traces of heavy rain are visible in the air and on the lens.
