In the period between 1:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., the emergency services counted a total of 73 weather -related alarms. Surprisingly, the number of missions increased by early Wednesday morning.

A spokesman for the police explained that the operations were distributed across the entire state without being able to make a special focus.
