Storms ravaged parts of Slovenia in the evening: trees were knocked down, roofs were uncovered, and cellars were flooded

A strong storm hit several areas of Slovenia in the evening, causing various damages. Firefighters were most active in the area of Starše, where strong winds toppled trees, damaged and uncovered multiple roofs, and flooded cellars. Additional support came from fire departments from nearby municipalities, including PGD Starše, PGD Prepolje, PGD Trniče, and PGD Zlatoličje, along with the Maribor Fire Brigade. The incident led to interventions at 17 locations across several settlements, with the highest number of incidents reported in the Starše area. Residents were asked to show patience due to limited resources, and non-urgent cases could be reported via email. Emergency assistance was available through the number 112. Similar issues were reported in other parts of the country, including Kungota, Rače-Fram, Miklavž na Dravskem polju, Pesnica, Polzela, Prebold, and Jesenice, where wind damage affected roofs and caused tree-related incidents.

Strong winds swept through parts of Slovenia late yesterday, causing widespread damage including uprooted trees, exposed roofs, and flooded cellars. The incident, which occurred in the evening hours, has led to multiple reports of property damage and required immediate intervention from emergency services. Emergency crews were heavily engaged in the area of the municipality of Starše, where strong gusts toppled trees, damaged structures, and uncovered several rooftops. Heavy rainfall also led to flooding in basements. In response, local fire departments, including those from Starše, Prepolje, Trniče, and Zlatoličje, deployed personnel to address the situation. Additional support came from the Maribor Fire Brigade, which sent aerial ladders to assist with rescue operations and structural assessments. The affected areas included the neighborhoods of Marjeta, Trniče, Prepolje, and Brunšvik, where teams worked to clear debris, repair damaged roofs, and pump water from flooded cellars. According to data from the Slovenian Rescue and Protection Agency, the highest number of incidents related to the storm were reported in the Starše region. Emergency responders emphasized that they are prioritizing cases requiring immediate assistance while urging residents to exercise patience due to the high volume of requests. Residents have been asked to show understanding, as resources are currently limited due to the scale of the operation. Non-urgent matters can be reported via email to the Starše Fire Department at gzstarse@gmail.com, while urgent cases should contact emergency services at 112. Officials thanked firefighters, the municipal dispatch office, and all individuals contributing to the recovery efforts. The effects of the storm extended beyond Starše, with similar issues reported in other regions. In Kungota, strong winds caused tree damage, while in the municipalities of Rače-Fram, Miklavž on the Drava Field, Pesnica, Polzela, Prebold, and Jesenice, roof damage was noted. Firefighters in these areas repaired damaged roofing materials and secured the sites. In Ilirski Bistrik, a portion of the roof at Grad Prem was uncovered, and local firefighters used foil and bags to protect approximately three square meters of the exposed roof. In Dutovlje within the Municipality of Sežana, a powerful gust of wind felled a tree onto a parked vehicle and nearby awning. Meanwhile, in Pivka, a sudden gust broke off part of a tree trunk that posed a risk to power lines. In Jesenice and Polzela, heavy rainwater contributed to additional challenges, affecting infrastructure and requiring further attention from emergency services. As the situation continues to unfold, authorities remain focused on managing the aftermath efficiently, ensuring public safety, and supporting affected communities. Further updates are expected as the full extent of the damage becomes clearer.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a natural disaster and the subsequent emergency response without taking a clear ideological stance. It provides factual information about the extent of the damage, the involvement of various firefighting units, and the administrative response from local authorities. There is a

Why factuality (75): This article discusses a storm affecting Slovenia, specifically mentioning damage in Starše, including fallen trees, exposed roofs, and flooded cellars. While it provides specific locations and types of damage, it does not mention the fire at Planje or any connection between the storm and the fire.

Why objectivity (70): The article has a somewhat alarmist tone, emphasizing the severity of the storm and its impact. There is an emotional undertone when describing the damage, such as 'pustošilo neurje' (storm devastation), which leans toward a more dramatic portrayal.
