The flash floods follow heavy rains in the area. Thirty-five bodies were found in the town of Krymsk, the ministry said earlier, with another nine recovered in the Gelendzhik district. Two more bodies were found in the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, the ministry said. TV footage from the Krasnodar region showed scenes of flooded streets, stranded vehicles and people wading through fast-moving water outside homes. Krasnodar also suffered deadly flooding in October 2010, when torrential rains in mountainous areas caused rivers to overflow, flooding villages nearby.
