The torrent of mud and water flooded private houses, washed out roads, and prompted the evacuation of some 76 Crimeans from their homes.
Disaster struck after heavy precipitation hit the area of Sudak on the evening of August 18. Some 41 private houses near the Suuk-su river were flooded, reported Russian authorities in Moscow and Crimea.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Crimea reported on its website “The drainage channels could not cope with the abundant amount of precipitation, and the water accumulated in the lowland areas of the settlement”.
The main road between Simferopol and Sudak was washed over and some cars were washed away, others piled up, causing a 10-kilometer-long traffic jam. In the wake of the disaster, 76 Crimeans, including 23 children, had been evacuated by 2 p.m. on August 19.
They have been provided with emergency accommodation at a tourist and health complex in Sudak. According to reports, the local emergency services are continuing to pump flood water out of the streets of Sudak, out of flooded basements, and surrounding areas.
