Strong wind in the Martvili, Chkhorotsku, and Tsalenjikha districts of the western Samegrelo region ripped the roofs from houses and other buildings, including the Rukhi village public school. The learning process there has been suspended. Chkhori culture house and ethnic Sisatura village were also damaged.
The wind uprooted trees in Tsalenjikha villages and damaged electricity transmission lines. The electric supply has been cut off, and restoration works are underway.
Further, the Enguri River swelled and flooded courtyards in Anaklia. Traffic is restricted on the Jvari-Mestia road, which was hit by an avalanche last night. Nineteen people trapped there were rescued.
Giorgi Guguchia, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti Regional Envoy, said that all special services were mobilized and working in emergency mode. Special commissions would calculate the inflicted damage.
