Fierce winds and heavy downpours wreaked havoc across the country on the night between Monday and Tuesday.
"By far the most call outs were to remove fallen trees, broken branches, damaged roofs," a fire department spokesman said.
"The most serious [incident] was a damaged roof in Kamienica (western Poland)… a strong wind ruined some 100 square metres of the roof. The chimney fell into the building and damaged the walls inside the house. Five people were evacuated," he added. (vb/pk)
