A partial state of emergency has been declared in Vratsa. There are over 50 reports of fallen trees, damaged roofs and facades, broken shop windows. In some neighbourhoods and villages, the electricity has been cut. Citizens are urged not to go outside.

In Sofia, 69 reports of fallen branches, trees, billboards and sheet metal have been received by the authorities.

The Ministry of the Interior advises citizens not to stand outdoors because of the danger of falling objects. If necessary, citizens are advised to enter public buildings, subways or other shelter.

If amidst nature, people are advised to wait in the lowest possible places until the danger has passed.
