About 5 o’clock 30 minutes when the woman woke up, she saw that the water had already reached the yard. “And it kept rising and rising every day. Until he reached the walls of the house. Domestic has not yet reached. But I’ve already moved all the things I could, above,” said Laima about her household.

A woman who lives alone was wondering what to do with the sofa. He considered that when the water started to penetrate into the house, he would have to look for someone who would help him lift it as well.

On Wednesday evening, Kretingiška was visited by an employee of the ward. It is advised to think about how to raise the plot a little in the future. “I also thought about whether the municipality should create a green area by the river,” the woman reflected.
Floods are nothing new to the Kretinga people who live by the river. A couple of decades ago, we had to meet Christmas when things were just floating around the house.

In recent years, floods, if they did occur, were less severe and did not cause much damage.
