The snow apocalypse covered Kamchatka: the streets of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky turned into snowy labyrinths, schools, universities and kindergartens were closed
Giant snowdrifts reaching a person’s growth paralyzed the city. Public transport runs with interruptions, all events are canceled or transferred.
Over 60% of the monthly rainfall fell in the city per day. Local authorities switched to remote operation, and residents are asked not to use cars and not to leave the house at all without extreme necessity.
However, many can not do it physically, since the doors of their entrances simply do not open. Only snowboarders and rescuers remained on the streets, helping people get out of snow captivity.
Air Force in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is also suspended-flights are sent to the reserve airfield to Magadan. According to the Ministry of Emergencies, an avalanche was in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and mass accidents are taking place on the tracks due to ice.
