WOW I saw this this on DW news you tube page Russia on Monday said more than 10,000 homes had been flooded in the Ural and Volga regions, as well as Western Siberia. Officials said thousands of people have been evacuated, particularly in the Orenburg region near Kazakhstan, after swiftly melting snow caused the Ural River to swell. How serious is the flooding? Moscow declared a federal emergency on Sunday because of flooding in the region, where the overflow of the Ural River left much of Orsk under water. The Ural River, which has its source in the Ural Mountains and flows into the Caspian Sea, surged by several meters in just an hour. The rising water levels broke through a dam embankment in Ors www.dw.com/en/russia-evacuates-thousands-amid-floods-in-ural-region/a-68766439
