PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, October 13 (RIA Novosti) - Storm winds caused by a cyclone in the Sea of Okhotsk have raged through Russia's Far Eastern city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Heavy rainfall caused a section of the road to subside in the center of the city on Sunday. Work is currently underway to strengthen the road and protect nearby buildings.
No casualties have been reported.
The hurricane also disrupted electricity supplies from the Mutnovsky geothermal power plant, Russia's largest environmentally friendly facility. The plant's two power units, with a total capacity of 50MW, meet up to a quarter of local industries' electricity demand.
The cyclone is now heading to the north of the Kamchatka Territory, a local meteorological service spokesman said.
