Strange Flood in Russia Kills 150
The extreme words like, 'never' and 'ever' continue to be used everyday as strange events just keep coming.
Today we are hearing the news of rain that came to hard and fast in Russia that it made a wall of water that ripped through cities and has killed over 150 people.
Moscow (CNN) -- Raging floodwaters that tore through the streets of southern Russia's Krasnodar region in the middle of the night are responsible for killing at least 150 people and displacing thousands, Russian media reported Sunday.
"The scale of it is spectacular, to be sure, and very tragic. The water came with such force that it tore up the asphalt," regional Gov. Alexander Tkachev said on Saturday via Twitter after seeing pictures of the flood damage in Krymsk, according to RT.
The floodwaters followed heavy rains that began Friday, pushing rivers and streams over their banks overnight. The waters rose 7 meters (23 feet) in Krymsk, striking while most people were asleep, Itar-Tass reported.
"People just ran from their homes because there was a huge wall of water," one woman told the Russian News Service, a Moscow-based radio station.
