Almost 60,000 people were left without power due to a hurricane in Krasnoyarsk Krai [Regnum] Almost 60,000 people were left without electricity as a result of bad weather in Krasnoyarsk Krai. This was reported on April 5 by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Energy. "Due to adverse weather conditions (wind with gusts up to 28 m/s), mass power outages are occurring in the region. According to operational data, the power outage affected more than 59,895 people," the Telegram channel says. It is specified that the Ministry of Energy is monitoring the situation with the restoration of power supply in the region. 192 teams, consisting of 392 people and 205 units of equipment, are participating in emergency recovery operations. The department added that massive power outages due to wind also occurred in Khakassia, Altai Krai and Kuzbass, where 155 teams are involved in repair work. As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on April 5, the aftermath of a hurricane wind in Krasnoyarsk Krai, where its gusts reached a speed of 33 m/s, was captured on video. These shots show how a strong wind lifted all the dust and dirt high into the air and its gusts with flashes tore off high-voltage wires. Later that day, it became known that the number of people injured by the strong wind in Khakassia had risen to 11. Against this background, all medical institutions in the republic were put on high alert. More from regnum.ru Residents of Krasnoyarsk Krai warned of second wave of hurricane Experts admit that a second wave of hurricane winds will come to Krasnoyarsk Krai. The region's governor Mikhail Kotyukov warned about this on April 5. Kotyukov warned of a possible second wave of hurricanes in Krasnoyarsk Krai “The first wave has passed, but experts do not rule out that there will be another one, so we are working actively, preparing forces and equipment for a possible repeat,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying. Kotyukov said that disaster response headquarters are being held every hour. On April 7, there will be information about the region on how to eliminate the consequences of the hurricane. Even more from regnum.ru Power outages in three Siberian regions due to bad weather Power grids in the Kemerovo Region, Khakassia and five districts of Altai have switched to a special operating mode due to mass power outages caused by hurricane-force winds. This was reported by the press service of Rosseti-Siberia. It is noted that power engineers have been on high alert since April 4. Forecasters predicted gusts of up to 30 m/s. "In the Altai Territory and Kemerovo Region, a squally wind has caused technological disruptions to the grid. Outages in different areas are being eliminated by 48 emergency recovery teams, 105 people and 48 units of equipment. Power engineers are doing everything possible to restore power supply to residents' homes as soon as possible," the company's Telegram channel says. At the same time, the Kemerovo Region faced a cyclone on the morning of April 5: wind, snow and rain disrupted the operation of the networks in Tisulsky, Gurevsky, Leninsk-Kuznetsky, Kemerovsky districts, as well as in Novokuznetsk and its environs. The main cause of the accidents were foreign objects carried by the wind onto the lines. For example, in Tisulsky District, the shutdown occurred due to the roof of a house collapsing onto the wires. In the Altai Territory, Altayenergo employees are fighting the aftermath of a night storm that confirmed meteorologists' forecasts. Teams are concentrated in Krasnoshchyokovsky, Soloneshensky, Charyshsky, Altaisky districts and the suburbs of Barnaul, trying to eliminate the problems as quickly as possible. In Khakassia, hurricane winds also caused power supply disruptions. The local branch of Khakasenergo has been transferred to a special mode. In Krasnoyarsk Krai and Tuva, a state of heightened readiness is maintained for prompt response to possible emergencies. |
