Flood

Sochi authorities have warned residents and guests of the city about the risk of rivers overflowing their banks and landslides during heavy rains.

Until October 5, in Sochi, where it is still raining heavily, and rivers literally flow through the streets, the storm warning will last due to bad weather.

According to official data, more than 1.5 thousand people were affected by the showers in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory. Blurred roads, flooded houses, thousands of people without electricity - this is not the whole list of the consequences of a cyclone. Thousands of tourists were also in distress.

From the evening of August 12 and on the night of August 13, bad weather raged in five districts of the Kuban. An incessant heavy rainfall for many hours flooded the cities and resort areas. Our special correspondent Irina Mishina reports from the Krasnodar Territory.

Despite the sad experience, in Russia, none of the basic conditions for preventing the destructive consequences of floods is still being fulfilled.
