After Smolyan municipality, a state of emergency has also been declared in Karlovo municipality over the gale-force winds.

The town’s mayor Emil Kabaivanov stated that no people have been injured, though there is damage to buildings. The gale-force winds lifted part of the roof off the general hospital and off one of the schools. Many schools nationwide have declared non-school days over the strong winds.

The situation is difficult in the region of Dobrich as well. The strong wind and snow have left over 90 towns and villages without electricity and with water supply outages. The situation is also difficult in the towns of Kalofer, Klisura, Gabrovo, Turgovishte, Haskovo. The ports of Varna and Bourgas are closed.
