"There is a fatality." The hurricane destroyed a tourist camp in the Sverdlovsk region
July 23, 2026 In the Sverdlovsk region, a camp on the Omutnoy stone on the Chusovaya River was destroyed by a hurricane the day before. According to preliminary data, there is one fatality.
The incident, which resulted in one fatality and injuries, was reported on his page on "VKontakte" by the head of the "Great Ural Trail" project, Vyacheslav Pestrikov, as reported by "Ъ-Ural."
"There was a logging incident, and trees fell on the tents. Evacuation is underway. The weather is just wild this year and makes tourism in the Middle Urals a challenge," Pestrikov commented on the incident.
Recall that on July 21, a hurricane passed through the gardening community "Mir" near the city of Zarechny. The wind uprooted and knocked down pines next to which summer houses stand. Outbuildings and cars were damaged. A man from Yekaterinburg was killed by fallen pines; he had gone out to his plot to close the greenhouse shortly before the wind picked up.
According to a witness interviewed by "Channel 4," the hurricane lasted no more than 1.5 minutes.
"Everything closed in an instant. Cars, the forest - everything was flying, nothing was visible. I have never seen pines break like matches. And then suddenly - silence again," the man said.
