The recording shows how heavy rain is pouring over the bridge, and gusty wind is blowing from the side. At some point, everything around is illuminated for an instant by a bright flash, immediately followed by a powerful thunder. Judging by the video, the lightning struck very close to the author of the recording.
After the strong thunderstorm in Gomel, city services continue to eliminate its consequences. In the area of the bus station and the Belposhta branch, water was pumped out from flooded areas. It was also reported that traffic was disrupted on Internatsiyanalnaya, Savetskaya, Yefremova streets, as well as on Lenin and Pyeramohy avenues, but it has already been restored.
