      A squally wind, which rescuers warned Yekaterinburg residents about some time ago, has caused chaos in the city with traffic light poles, trees, and more.

      At the construction site of Novokoltsovsky, portable toilets were overturned by gusts of wind, subscribers reported to "Evil Yekaterinburg." "With all the ensuing consequences," jokes the public.

      A gust of wind tore off the hatch on the roof of bus route 83. According to passengers, at first, they didn't understand why the bus driver suddenly stopped and went somewhere. It later turned out that he went to look for the hatch.

      At Samolyotnaya Street, the "Pavlodarskaya" bus stop was blown away, and at the intersection of Pobedy and Bakinsky Commissioners streets in Uralmash, the wind knocked down a traffic light, subscribers of "Evil Yekaterinburg" reported.

      In the yard at Stakhanovskaya, 31, and on Michurina Street, trees fell due to the wind, covering a car. The same happened on Gromova Street.

      Recall that the warning about squally winds of up to 25 m/s was published today by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Sverdlovsk region. The regional State Traffic Inspectorate issued a warning for drivers, especially for those who have switched to summer tires. According to meteorologists' forecasts, the bad weather with cooling will last in the Sverdlovsk region until May 13.
