Lithuania: Palanga gets pounded by storms

On Sunday, I wrote about Lithuania's beaches in the Sunday Times, noting the Palanga pier as a highlight. That night, it was ripped apart by a storm. Previously permanent fixtures--stairs, rubbish bins, telephone booths, old-lady beggars and so on--were also scattered about whimsically by nature. Anyone who knows the area might like to have a butcher's at this article (it's in Lithuanian, but with clickable pictures) to see the damage.
