In the Krasnoyarsk Region, a powerful storm left 161 settlements without electricity, according to the telegram message from the regional headquarters of the Ministry of Emergencies. The disruption affected homes across multiple communities, and authorities worked to restore power as quickly as possible. The report notes that roofs were torn from homes in 10 municipalities, while strong winds uprooted trees and scattered debris across roads and yards. A total of 12 vehicles sustained damage during the storm, but no casualties were reported at that time, underscoring the immediate impact on transportation and daily life in the region.
Rescue teams and field experts have been mobilized to eliminate the storm’s consequences. The emergency restoration effort involved 61 teams comprising 174 personnel and 63 units of equipment. Crews coordinated round-the-clock work to assess damage, clear fallen trees, repair power lines, and secure vulnerable structures. The ministry emphasized that the situation demanded continuous vigilance as winds persisted, and teams remained on standby to respond to any new emergencies (source: Press service of the regional headquarters of the Ministry of Emergencies).
Officials reminded residents that strong winds were expected to continue across the region, with gusts reaching 25 meters per second or higher. In addition to power outages, rescue teams warned that icy road conditions could complicate travel and hinder response efforts. Citizens were advised to stay clear of downed power lines and to follow official guidance as crews work to restore normal services. The ongoing weather pattern prompted authorities to deploy additional resources and maintain high readiness for rapid action as conditions evolved (source: Press service of the regional headquarters of the Ministry of Emergencies).
Earlier in November, a powerful hurricane affected several Siberian regions. In the Altai Region, winds damaged power lines, roofs, and transportation infrastructure, while trees fell onto vehicles and blocked streets. More than 70 cities and villages faced damage, and some communities experienced extended outages that disrupted water supply and heating services. Novokuznetsk faced particularly severe consequences, with portions of the city left without electricity, and public transit including trams and trolleybuses halted. The disruption extended to water and heating services, and there were injuries reported as emergency crews investigated the full scope of damage. Detailed coverage followed in regional outlets (source: regional reporting on the Siberian weather event).
There have been other dramatic moments during the Siberian storm activity. In Altai, a large tree was reported to have struck a bus during one of the gusty episodes, illustrating the immediate danger posed by the severe wind and falling debris. Local authorities advised residents to avoid travel unless necessary and to prepare for continued adverse conditions as storms moved through the area. Emergency services urged people to stay informed through official channels and to report downed lines or hazardous conditions promptly (source: regional emergency communications).
