Floods in Black Sea Port of Batumi
Heavy rain battered the Black Sea port of Batumi on Tuesday, causing flooding, dfwatch.net reports.
The flood blocked several streets including the entrance to the city. Rescue workers tried to help with the first floors of buildings that were full of water.
Some cars were stuck in the streets. Additional teams of rescue workers were sent from Tbilisi and Kutaisi, because all available personnel in the Adjara region were already on duty.
Among the flooded streets were 26 Maisi, Aghmashenebeli, Lermontovi, Melikishvili and Bagrationi.
Electricity was cut in several parts of the city.
