Strong winds hit the Baltic coast causing more than $2.4 million in damage to the state property, leaving thousands of people without electricity. Rescuers evacuated 39 people in the Riga vicinity because of the rising water in the Daugava river. No one died. The winds were paticularly strong in Western Latvia.

The weather was reminiscent of strong windstorm two years ago.
