Water surges down the steps and into a passenger tunnel at Yaroslavl train station.
Heavy rain left entire streets flooded and caused landslides in Yaroslavl, a news report said Friday.
The footage above shows that the city's train station was badly affected, and highway surveillance cameras showed buses overloaded with passengers barely moving, while some trolleybuses could not operate at all due to high water levels, RIA-Novosti reported.
"Some trolleybuses continued on their routes. But in some places, for example near Yaroslavl's main train station, the traffic isn't moving," the municipal transportation office said.
Although most of the water that poured down on the city has receded, some of Yaroslavl's low-lying areas remain flooded.
The Emergency Situations Ministry reported no accidents or emergencies related to the rainfall.
However, a video posted online (below) shows an empty car lying upside down on the city's Volga embankment after the section of road it was parked on collapsed.
Local emergency workers are already recovering the car, a city office official told RIA-Novosti.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
