Thus, in the city center after 16.00 Tuesday, access to the Network disappeared for many subscribers of one of the largest Simferopol providers Farline. This happened immediately after lightning struck several times in the area of Pushkin Street, scaring the local residents half to death. In particular, lightning struck the courtyard on Serov Street.
After this, digital television, broadcast through dishes using the Internet, also disappeared. Access to the Network was also lost in the Zagorodny microdistrict, the area of the State District Power Plant.
Farline's internet service was restored only at midday on Wednesday.
At the same time, a flood began in different parts of the city - cars floated, and in some cars water was bailed out with buckets. Again, like at the end of May, the license plates were washed off the car.
