Consequences of strong winds in Karshi: Roof blown off onto a car, emergency situation on roads
On November 9, 2026, a sudden change in weather and violent winds in Karshi, the administrative center of the Kashkadarya region, led to a series of unfortunate incidents.
The high-speed winds and subsequent rainfall damaged urban infrastructure, disrupted traffic, and created dangerous situations on the streets.
Building roof torn off and crushed a car
On one of the streets adjacent to the city center, the large wooden and metal roof structure of a multi-story building, unable to withstand the pressure of the strong wind, collapsed entirely:
Structural failure: The force of the wind broke the fasteners, blowing the massive roof covering onto the roadway and pedestrian walkway;
Damage to the vehicle: The heavy falling roof debris landed directly on a black passenger car parked in the area, causing serious technical damage to the vehicle;
Traffic restrictions: Because the entire roadway was blocked by wood and metal debris, a major traffic jam occurred on the street, forcing vehicles to take detours.
Slippery roads due to rain and an overturned car
The rainfall that followed the wind further increased the danger on the roads:
Slippery surface: Wet asphalt and strong wind gusts made it difficult for drivers to see and maintain control;
Traffic accident: On one of the city streets, a moving passenger car lost control due to skidding and overturned on the side of the road.
