Baltic Cyclone Leaves Destruction and Power Outages | Lubbock News

A brutal cyclone tore through the Baltics, leaving two dead from falling debris and plunging nearly half a million people into darkness across Latvia and Lithuania. Wind gusts over 67 mph hit Riga, dousing the city with half its monthly rain in one day—and wrecking public transit with downed trees. Lithuania, Estonia, and northeastern Poland also felt the storm’s wrath, with flights grounded at Riga Airport. Scientists suspect climate change likely intensified the rainfall, making extreme weather more common. Power is expected to return by Monday as cleanup crews mobilize—though for many, it was a rough weekend. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
