Russia floods kill at least 105

Heavy rain causes the flooding of tens of thousands of homes in the Black Sea region of Krasnodar. Bodies are reportedly seen in the streets.

At least 105 people died when torrential rains tore through southern Russia, flooding tens of thousands of homes and catching sleeping people by surprise, authorities said Saturday.

"They ran out in the night with only with the clothes on their backs. My [parents] were able to save themselves and their passports," Anna Kovalevskaya, whose parents live in Krymsk, tweeted from Moscow. "The city is in panic."

Gov. Alexander Tkachev tweeted as he flew over the devastated area that "something unimaginable" had occurred in Krymsk, a city of 57,000 in the Krasnodar region about 750 miles south of Moscow. He later told the NTV news channel that the flooding was the worst the city had seen in 70 years. Read more
