“Severe storm in the Black Sea area left nearly half a million people without power and one person dead in Crimea, as reported by Russian state news agency Tass. The storm caused extensive damage in Crimea, southern Russia, and beach resorts like Sochi, affecting buildings, trees, and power lines. It was part of a weather front that also impacted Romania and Moldova, causing death and power outages.
Crimea declared a state of emergency due to the strongest storm in 16 years, with wind speeds reaching 144 kph. Government offices, including schools and hospitals, were closed, and residents were advised to stay home. In the Chernomorske area of western Crimea, residents lost water and heating due to power outages at pumping stations. Additionally, an issue with a gas pipeline in Saky, western Crimea, was reported.
In Sevastopol, an aquarium flood resulted in the death of about 800 exotic fish and animals. In Russia, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium halted crude oil loading at Novorossiysk port due to extreme weather, including high winds and waves.”
The only part I’m sorry about is the damage to the aquarium.
