In Belgrade, 40 liters of rain per square meter fell in four hours. More than 10,000 measuring points are without electricity in the area of Šid.

Last night, there were showers in Šumadija, Srem, Banat, Pomoravlje and in the east of the country.

The department for emergency situations intervened eleven times during the night to eliminate the consequences of the storm.

Branko Djordjević, the Executive Director for electricity transmission in EMS, told RTS that not everyone in the Šid area received electricity from the aggregates, and that now more than 10,000 measuring points, that is, meters, do not have power.

Noting that three transmission poles on one transmission line were knocked down in the storm, and not three transmission lines, he says that he expects the authorities to raise the emergency poles in the afternoon or in the evening and for Šid to receive high voltage, after which Elektrodistribucija's teams would deal with the low-voltage network.

Belgrade flooded

As can be seen in the videos published on social networks, it was the most critical on Banovo Brdo in Požeška Street. The streets are flooded, water gushes from the shaft, and the torrent of water carried everything before it.

The situation was no better on parts of the highway near Autokomanda. In some parts of the capital, cars were literally trapped in water, and trams on Banovo Brdo and in Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra did not run due to the large amount of water.

Vojvoda Vlahović Street near the bus station line 26 has turned into a river.
