“The city center is de-energized while it rains and the threat of flooding persists.
The electricity was cut off until the water runs out, ”the city administration said in a message posted on the Telegram channel.
The press service recalled the incident in 2012, when five people crossed the road at a bare wire hidden under water.
They all died.
The mayor of Gelendzhik, Aleksey Bogodistov, said earlier that in a few hours the city had almost four-month rainfall.
Due to heavy rain sirens went off to warn local residents about the risk of flooding.
