TORRENTIAL rains dropped nearly a foot of water on a Black Sea region in southern Russia overnight, setting off intense flooding that killed at least 99 people and forced some in the largely rural area to take refuge in trees and on roofs, officials said yesterday.
Muddy water coursed through streets and homes in the Krasnodar region, in some cases high enough to flow over the hoods of cars. About 5,000 residences were flooded, the Krasnodar governor was quoted as telling the Interfax news agency. Igor Zhelyabin, a spokesman for the Krasnodar's Emergencies Ministry, said 67 of the deaths were in the area of the hard-hit town of Krimsk, about 1,200 kilometers south of Moscow.
