Three cars were destroyed after a tree fell to the ground in the yard of a block on street Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici.
"It’s danger here, not long ago has again fallen a branch. - Cade una după alta? - Yes. One after another and I want to take it elsewhere”.
Some drivers tried to get their cars from under the branches on their own, because they were late for work.

The pedestrians are also affected, they’re so scared that they don’t know on which side to walk so that the branches don’t fall over them.
"There has passed a woman with a child. It was about to fall on her head. Me myself am afraid to stay here”.
"The trees are now with leaves, they have their weight and the snow falls. Right in front of where I live are 16 floors.
There were formed traffic jams, even though many left their cars at home.
"We exited for work, but sit in traffic jam. – Will you be late or not?- I think so. –For how much? – I’ve been late with half an hour already".
"It’s very hard, other drivers exceed, there are traffic jams, here also. The trucks sit on the margin, the roads are uncleaned”.
