According to the residents of Veliky Novgorod, this thunderstorm was very strange, unlike others.
For example, Stanislav writes: “I have never seen such bright flashes. I was driving in a car, I thought that something exploded right above me … I don’t remember such a roar”.
And other witnesses report that the lightning strikes were more like explosions. So, for those who were at that moment in the Kremlin Park, it seemed that at one moment the lanterns exploded. The thunderclaps that followed were incredibly loud.
Pavel Letskis says that he himself saw and heard this thunderstorm and was amazed at it. “She was really weird,” he says. According to him, before the rain, it darkened sharply out of time. At the time of the thunderstorm, he was in Kolmov: “There was a feeling that something had gone bang at Akron.
In social networks, at the time of the thunderstorm, people reported that “it looks like it was blown into the house,” someone got an electric shock, someone lost their Internet and television, sparks flew from sockets. Residents of Kosmonavtov Street and Zelinsky Street unsubscribed with such messages. Predtechenskaya Street was left without lighting.
Also, during one of the lightning strikes in a store on Rozvazha Street, the cashless settlement network failed and an ATM went out. Customers in line with no cash had to give up shopping.
