- It is horrible on the beach. Everything by the coast is under water now. The wind caused real chaos, and the water swallowed everything. Cafes Akvarius, Kadmo, and many other in the old part of the city are now under water. The anchored ships are now under danger - Vane Petkovski from Ohrid said for Skopje Fokus.
