With the beginning of a new week, a strong wind hit the city. By lunchtime, his impulses intensified and the rescuers had more work to do.
– Throughout the day, rescuers cut down trees that might not withstand strong winds, fallen on roads, gas pipes, cars. The wind squeezes out the stained-glass windows in the apartments – in order to avoid the tragedy, the rescuers remove them. archyde news banners are being removed, fences are being strengthened. The corrugated board that has flown from the roofs is removed, – wrote in his Telegram channel Mayor of Novorossiysk Andrey Kravchenko.
