When water began to penetrate into the house, they called rescuers, but after a few minutes the building was washed away.
Volley rains took place in the Tuapse region on the night of July 12. In three hours, 144 millimeters of rain fell. Due to the flooding of the local pumping station, water supply was partially turned off – local residents were left without cold water.
