House with woman and children washed away by flood waters after dam breaks near Chelyabinsk
As a result of a dam break near Chelyabinsk, a wooden house with a woman and two children inside was washed away by water.
The house was pulled down by a stream of water at the moment when a woman with two young children was inside.
“The building was carried 300 meters towards the forest,” the head of the family told REN TV.
The man explained that his wife and children were saved because they managed to climb onto the roof.
The wooden structure was pulled into the forest by the stream, and then the woman and children were able to escape without consequences.
According to the man, during the flood the house turned into Noah's Ark, thanks to which his family managed to escape.
