Sochi Braces for Potential Waterspouts on November 28
Streets in Sochi to Experience Power Outage on May 7
Mark your calendars, folks, because there's a chance you might catch a waterspout off the stunning coast of Sochi next Tuesday! According to a report by the city's administration, there's a risk of these spectacular sea-swirling wonders forming in the Magri - Veseloe region till the end of the day.
To ensure safety, Sochi's head, Alexei Kopaigorodsky, has ordered all city services to operate in high gear. Residents and tourists are advised to steer clear of any bodies of water. Now, let's hope these meteorological marvels don't pack too much of a punch!
But wait, there's more! Chances are, you've heard about the famous "Santa Barbara" arches––an eye-catching tourist destination modeled after the American city's iconic structures, where a popular TV series was filmed in the 90s. Unfortunately, recent reports suggest that these historical landmarks are no more. However, I couldn't find any official confirmation or details about this issue in the available sources.
Speaking of surprises, worrisome winds this past week toppled around 70 trees across the city, leaving teams working through the night to clear roads and remove the fallen foliage. The good news is, things are looking up as most of the city is starting to get back to normal.
Just remember, as responsible travelers, let's keep an eye on the weather forecasts and play it safe! And hey, if you're curious about more details or want to know about other quirky tidbits, feel free to drop me a line! I'm always here to help! 😊

Sochi's Weather Forecast on November 28 may include the possibility of waterspouts in the Magri - Veseloe region, as reported by the city's administration. Barbara, a famous tourist destination in Sochi, known for its "Santa Barbara" arches, appears to have been destroyed, according to recent reports, but official confirmation remains elusive. On the other hand, recent strong winds in Sochi have caused the toppling of about 70 trees, leading to road clearance efforts.
