A powerful cyclone slammed into the Baltics, dumping torrential rain and whipping winds over 67 mph in Riga, leaving half a million people without power and claiming two lives—one crushed by a collapsing building in Latvia, another struck by a falling tree in Lithuania. The storm crippled mobile networks, grounded trains and flights, and caused widespread chaos, possibly the most severe in Latvia in nearly two decades. Experts suspect climate change may have amplified the rainfall, raising alarms about increasingly frequent extreme weather. But relief is on the way: power is expected to return by Monday, and cleanup crews are mobilizing to restore normalcy as communities brace for the aftermath.
