Powerful rain shower with thunderstorm and squally wind 10 Jun covered the Moscow region. Bad weather added to the precipitation, the already crowded, yet half of the June norm. Roads turned into raging rivers that drowned even the buses. The Russian capital came to a standstill in the 9-point jams. And in New Moscow had collapsed podtopleny bridge.
Thunder, lightning and a curtain of water — classic torrential summer rain. That’s just one thing — the abundant precipitation in the second half of the day no one expected. The day before the weather forecasters were predicting only partly cloudy. Intense rain caused numerous flooding and, of course, the tube.
In traffic the number one issue — the shower. Were the drivers heading towards Mitino, already knew what awaits them!

The collapse happened near the house №39. In the Solntsevo district all looked about the same. But, there were brave souls who continued whether to go, whether to go, and at the same time to remove.
Specialists of TMS, however, believe that the cause of congestion — not just rain. On the streets there are more machines. In addition, the city is actively going road works

But the disaster has made a road collapse a contribution. The wind felled trees — footage of this process from the street of General Beloborodova tore roofs of houses. It happened on Zarechnaya street. In New Moscow, near the village of Bollsoe Pokrovskoe struck the bridge, dunno. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but residents of several villages has been cut off from civilization. Now, the work of the emergency services. In Istra hail, and in Khimki, people just couldn’t get out of the house.
