⛈ Stormy weather continues to rage on in Russia.

Due to torrential rains, parts of Tyumen's streets were submerged, hiding all manhole covers from view. As a result, at one crossing, a girl didn't see the opening and fell in up to her neck (video 1). A second woman ran to help her but stumbled and fell in too. They were pulled out by other passers-by.

Tolyatti was also flooded. The city's streets turned into rivers (videos 2 and 3). The water level rose so high that it's even flooding public transport. Cars are floating, and people are wading through knee-deep water. An "orange" weather hazard level was declared in the region.

The situation is no better in Ufa, the capital of Bashkortostan: building entrances are flooded in various districts, trees have been knocked down, and road collapses have occurred.
