  • More than 100 trees and branches fell across multiple cities, damaging roofs, signs and vehicles as seasonal monumental figures were toppled or removed for safety.
  • At least three people were injured by falling debris, including a 67-year-old woman with a probable hip fracture when a tree collapsed onto her business.
  • Humanitarian air-bridge flights were suspended, beaches were closed and maritime navigation was halted due to the hazardous conditions.
