A fierce tornado tore through Agoy beach in Russia's Krasnodar region on Sunday.
Floods hit 70 residential areas and 34 homes in the villages of Defanovka, Moldavanovka and Novomikhailovsky, the regional Emergency Situations Ministry reported.
Shocking footage shows a pedal-boat sucked into a whirlwind before crashing onto the roof of a beach structure - just above terrified holidaymakers who narrowly escaped serious injury.
The pedalo is then seen falling off the roof and landing on the sand.

A tornado warning was issued for the coastline following three days of storms in the area.
Separate footage shows flash floods sweeping away a bridge in Lermontovo - a popular tourist village around 25 miles away from Agoy.

My autistic son ran off at airport and boarded easyJet flight to WRONG country – despite not having ticket or passport
The agitated boy was met by police and medics, taken to hospital and sedated HOLS HELL My autistic son ran off at airport and boarded easyJet flight to WRONG country – despite not having ticket or passport A MUM told of her nightmare yesterday after her son ran off at an airport before boarding a plane to the wrong country. Fiona Robinson, 48, was buying souvenirs ahead of a flight from Minorca to Stansted when Ruben, 14, had an autism episode. 6 Fiona Robinson told of her nightmare after her son Ruben ran off at an airport before boarding a plane to the wrong country 6 Ruben got on an easyJet plane flying to Milan from Minorca on Monday with no ticket or passport 6 Relieved Fiona said: 'You think stuff like this can only happen in the movies' Incredibly, with no ticket or passport, he got on an easyJet plane flying to Milan at 9.25am on Monday. On landing in the Italian city, agitated Ruben was met by police and medics, taken to hospital and sedated. Fiona flew to Barcelona, then Milan, and yesterday the reunited pair travelled home to Kettering, Northants. Relieved Fiona said: 'You think stuff like this can only happen in the movies. 'It's been a nightmare. He has severe autism, he won't have had a clue what was happening to him. I'm just glad he's safe and sound. 'Ruben had lost his ear defenders on holiday and was getting stressed, so I told him we'd go soon. There was a big queue in duty free. Ruben said, 'Mum, I'm gonna go', then he was gone.' He was gone for four hours before security and police realised he was airside, and plane crew confirmed he was aboard. Mum-of-three Fiona, who has mobility issues after a knee op, said the week abroad was their first trip since Covid, adding: 'Ruben deserved a holiday but next time we'll stay in the UK.' She is 'upset and angry' at easyJet, which is investigating. The airline said: 'Our team and the authorities met the passenger in Milan and we provided arrangements for a family member to meet them. 'We remain in touch to offer our support.'

‘Unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260k launches – with unlimited food, drink & travel all included
Find out which other yachts are making a splash this year SET SAIL 'Unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260k launches – with unlimited food, drink & travel all included THE 'unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260,000 has launched, offering unlimited food, drink and travel all included in the price tag. The VanDutch 75 is being dubbed one of the sleekest vessels on the water and it's not hard to see why. Advertisement 6 The VanDutch 75 has officially launched Credit: JamPress 6 The luxury cruise offers unlimited food, drinks and travel Credit: JamPress With razor-sharp lines, minimalist interiors and a silhouette that wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi film, the brand-new luxury yacht is officially turning heads. Made for high-speed cruising, the 75-foot beast is powered by twin 1,800hp engines that help it glide through the sea at a rapid 40 knots, which is over 45mph, in case you're wondering. But it's not just what's under the hood that's getting people talking, the interior is just as impressive. We're talking penthouse-on-water vibes, with open-plan living space, Italian-inspired interiors and designer fittings from bow to stern. Advertisement Inside, there's a full-beam master suite, two additional guest cabins, and separate crew quarters that sleep two. The below-deck setup includes ambient lighting, custom cabinetry and a fully kitted-out kitchen, or "galley", if you're feeling nautical. Inside Brooklyn Beckham's 'financial flex' in feud with dad David as his £85m superyacht dwarfs family's £16m vessel And this isn't just for sunbathing and sipping rosé. There's a navigation station, a pop-up TV, and a high-end sound system, so you can cruise in full-blown party mode or total peace and quiet. The brand calls it 'a natural evolution of the VanDutch DNA', but we'd call it a floating bachelor pad with Bond-level energy. Advertisement Prices for the VanDutch 75 are firmly in seven-figure territory, depending on your chosen setup, but if you've got the cash, it's one hell of a way to sail into retirement. When can I retire? IF you're wondering when you can retire, it's best to speak to your pension providers. Firstly, use the government's tool to check your state pension age. Next check retirement ages on workplace pension schemes - this can massively impact your windfall once you enter your golden years. For advice, you can contact The Pensions Advisory Service for free online or on 0800 011 3797. Luxury yachts And it's not the only mega-yacht making headlines this season. The 390ft superyacht Breakthrough, rumoured to belong to billionaire Bill Gates, is also set to make its grand debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this September. The £476million ship has been billed as the first-ever hydrogen-powered yacht, and comes with jaw-dropping features including a cinema, basketball court, hospital, two offices, and enough staterooms to house an entire football team. Advertisement If Gates really is behind it, he's got competition from Brooklyn Beckham, who was recently spotted sailing into Saint-Tropez aboard his billionaire in-laws' 80-metre yacht, Project X, worth a cool £85million. Meanwhile, his dad David Beckham was moored nearby on his own £16million vessel Seven, which looks like a dinghy by comparison. From sci-fi style yachts to floating mansions with four-storey townhouses tucked inside, it's clear 2025 is the year of the mega boat flex. And with VanDutch leading the charge in design, tech and speed, it might just be time to trade your retirement home for a vessel spot. Advertisement World's biggest superyachts THE seas are graced by dozens of luxurious superyachts - but these are the biggest five in the world: Somnio - in construction Size - 728ft Cost - £425m Top speed - 20 knots Bedrooms - 39 Rev Size - 600ft Cost - £253m Top speed - 17 knots Bedrooms - 18 Azzam Size - 597ft Cost - £447m Top speed - 30 knots Bedrooms - 18 Fulk Al Salamah Size - 538ft Cost - £394m Top speed - 22 knots Bedrooms - Unclear Eclipse Size - 534ft Cost - £552m Top speed - 21 knots Bedrooms - 17 6 The cost includes a luxurious queen-size bed and a large en-suite bathroom Credit: JamPress 6 Guests are able to stay on board as frequently as they like Credit: JamPress 6 Guests are able to stay as frequently as they like Credit: JamPress 6 Pensioners can retire for £260,000 Credit: JamPress
