Dangerous supercell – Weather forecast for the next few days

The massive thunderstorm in Sopron this Tuesday caused a lot of destruction. Trees were uprooted, electric poles fell on the roads, roofs were damaged when this supercell arrived, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reports.

The whole county suffered because of the supercell. After some electricity lines were torn by trees falling on them, almost 3000 homes were left without electricity. And not just in Sopron. This picture was taken in Kecskemét, on the other side of the country, showing the destruction and the people trying to repair what they can as soon as possible, so no one is left without electricity for too long.
