This weather event, confirmed through eyewitness accounts, photographs, and video footage, caused notable damage and disruption across the area.
Damage and Impacts
According to reports verified by the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMI), the windstorm inflicted significant damage including:

- Uprooted or snapped trees scattered throughout the village and nearby land

Eyewitness and Official Statements
Ivica Pavlovic on the FB page /https://www.facebook.com/groups/247308737791/posts/ provided a statement regarding the situation and ongoing recovery efforts:
“I hope the municipal office will soon ensure the cleaning of sidewalks and roads contaminated by the heavy rains from Monday, June 2. Mud deposits remain in several places, posing a safety risk to pedestrians, especially children and the elderly. In dry weather, dust from these deposits is stirred up, polluting nearby homes and vehicles.”
Utilities and Infrastructure Status
Electricity supply has been fully restored throughout Čeľadice, thanks to the professional work and cooperation of local firefighters and electricians, according to Peter Pukan on the FB page /https://www.facebook.com/photo/. This swift response prevented prolonged power outages and helped stabilize conditions quickly.
However, the public lighting system remained offline due to damage sustained during the storm. Repairs are pending, and the municipal authorities will provide updates on the timeline for restoration.
What’s Next?
The local authorities and emergency services continue to monitor the situation. Residents are advised to exercise caution around damaged structures and fallen trees and to follow updates from the municipal office regarding cleanup efforts and infrastructure repairs.
