სვანეთის ქუჩა
From Wikipedia :
A flood occurred in the Vere River valley in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, on the night of 14 June 2015. It resulted in at least 12 human deaths and struck the Tbilisi Zoo, leaving half of its inhabitants either dead or on the loose.

The Vere, a right tributary of the Mtkvari (Kura), runs through Tbilisi's Vake and Saburtalo neighborhoods. It is characterized by periodic flash floods, which had turned this normally small stream into a surging river, causing significant flooding in 1960, 1963, 1972, and 1995. In 1972, it resulted in several fatalities and completely flooded the Tbilisi Zoo.

Damage and casualties

Following hours of heavy rainfall, a landslide dammed up the Vere river late on 13 June 2015. The resulting flood inflicted severe damage on the Tbilisi Zoo, a highway running through the Vere valley, and nearby houses, resulting in at least 12 deaths, including three zoo workers. One of them, a 56-year woman, had recently returned to work after having had an arm amputated two weeks earlier after a tiger mauled it.

About 36 people were admitted for mild-to-moderate injuries; most of them were discharged from hospitals on the same day. As of late 14 June, 24 people were reported as missing. More than 40 families were left homeless and 22,000 people were left without electricity. The Georgian government reported a preliminary estimated flood damage cost of approximately GEL 40 million.

Animals in streets

The Tbilisi Zoo lost nearly half of its inhabitants. Most of them were killed by flooding. Several surviving inhabitants of the zoo—a hippopotamus, big cats, wolves, bears, and hyenas—escaped from destroyed pens and cages to the streets of Tbilisi and a police unit was employed to round them up. Some of them were killed or recaptured and brought back to the zoo.[7] The media ran footage showing the hippopotamus making its way to flooded Heroes' Square, one of Tbilisi's major roadway hubs, where it was subdued with a tranquilizer dart.
