The tornado caused widespread power outages, with approximately 121,000 households left without electricity in the region. 1202 buildings were damaged or destroyed. 180 buildings that did not completely collapse were scheduled for demolition. The D2 motorway linking Brno with Bratislava in Slovakia was closed. Rescue teams from across the country (including Prague) and also from neighboring Austria and Slovakia were deployed, as was the Czech Army. The total damage to public property has been so far estimated at 15+ billion CZK. Damages to privately owned properties are expected to be many times higher, but the exact numbers are still unknown.
