On the 17th October 2011, Bulgaria experienced severe weather conditions. Heavy snowfall and hurricane force winds caused major disruption to traffic with many mountain passes blocked, trapping cars, lorries and heavy vehicles. Widespread power cuts were reported in Eastern and Northern Bulgaria.
Unfortunately, Geshaview did not escape the snow and strong winds.
There was major damage to some of the trees, but luckily all of the houses remained unscathed. The road leading to the village was blocked by fallen trees and the power failure lasted for 15 hours.
In the video above, David Hollands shows some of the damage and explains how the natural drainage system is coping with the thawing snow.
The next issue of the Geshaview newsletter will have a full report and photographs.
