Stormy wind brought down trees and tore off parts of the roof in Moscow

A gale-force wind that hit Moscow on March 14 toppled trees and tore off the roof of a building. A video with the consequences of bad weather was shown by Izvestia.

The footage shows that the wind caused trees to collapse onto the roofs of cars parked next to residential buildings. At the same time, parts of roofing material from the roof fell on some vehicles.

In the video, special services personnel eliminate the effects of bad weather.
