Saturday in New Bedford was sunny, cloudy, overcast, cloudy, rainy mixed with snow and sunny again.
Is the weather weird or just different because of climate change?
It seems like some things don’t change.
Every year, in spring, floods begin in many regions of Russia. Because of the melting snow, streets and entire villages go under water.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia has already reported on 34 regions in which high water has been recorded.
The Orenburg region suffered the most due to floods. The mayor of Orenburg, Sergey Salmin, demanded that residents immediately leave their homes in the flood zone. Otherwise he is going to evacuate them forcibly.
In the Altai Territory, high water flooded the village of Solnechny. To draw the attention of the authorities to the problem, the head of the village bathed in flooded water in the middle of the village.
I have to republish a post about Altai here pretty soon.
In the Samara region, 9 districts of the region went under water. 456 people were evacuated from flooded houses, but not everyone decides to leave their homes: people are afraid of looters.
Due to floods, forest dwellers found themselves on the streets of cities. In St. Petersburg, a beaver came out to people because of the floods.
In the Moscow region, the village of "Little Scotland" has turned into a small Venice due to floods: local residents are forced to escape from flooded cottages by boat.
In the Novosibirsk region, country houses and some roads (if I am not mistaken about 83 of them) went under water.
The water level in the Tobol River (much to the west of Tomsk) near the city of Kurgan may exceed 9 meters.
In Tomsk, the Tom River is still frozen.
The opening of the river in Tomsk is expected on April 12-18.
According to experts, the ice on the river is up to 25% thinner than normal, but the risk of flooding in parts of Tomsk and neighboring villages remains due to landscape features.
Before the Communal Bridge, the river has a fast current, below it flows through flatland. Several villages are flooded with meltwater every year.
I will post all the links to the article. I know you can’t read Russian, just look at photos.
I found a website with webcams in Tomsk. the link is here River
