2012.06.20.Flooding at Minnesota happened after the strong storm and rain in 2012.06.19–2012.06.20.
Water levels in Big Sandy Lake, which is about 60 miles west of Duluth, are rising at a rate of one foot per day, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported for Friday June 22, 2012. [2]. The floods followed heavy storms Sunday through Tuesday that dropped as much as 10 inches of rain on Duluth and neighboring communities, according to the weather service. The flooding washed out roads and bridges, inundated neighborhoods and killed 11 animals at the Duluth zoo. No people were reported dead in Minnesota, but three fatalities were reported in Clark County, Wisconsin. Those three were in two cars that crashed Wednesday on a washed-out road, the state emergency management agency said.
More information about the 2012.06.20.Flooding at Minnesota can be found at the official site [3].
One compares the number of victims (3 human fatalities in the car crashes caused by the road destruction and 11 animals dead) in the 2012.07.22.flooding at Minnesota to hundreds or thousands killed by the Tsunami at the river Adagum (Адагум) in city Krymsk and vicinities (Krasnoradsky region, Russia; see the special article 2012.07.07.Наводнение в Крымске, in Russian, and the references there (some of them are in English). According to publications cited, at Krymsk, the water raised for several meters during several minutes; neither evacuation, nor even alert of the people were organized. The head of the Krasnodarsky region Aleksandr Tkachev (Ткачев Александр Николаевич) claims, that during a day, the rain had dropped 300 liter of water per square centimeter, and, from his point of view, it was vain to alert the citizen; nobody believes the information from the Russian administration [4]. The estimate by Tkachev is at least 6 orders of magnitude away from any reasonable amount of natural daily precipitation; however, such amount of water could be dropped through the tube of the damaged drain system of the artificial lake at the care-less/criminal handling. One believes, that the tsunami at Krymsk was triggered by the release of water from an artificial reservoir and should be qualified as technogenic catastrophe; the Russian administration claims that it was natural disaster. The comparison in favor of the Minnesota administration is suggested [5]; several photos of the 2012.07.22.flooding at Minnesota are supplied.
