A disaster in our town

At 7pm on 24th July 2000 it was a tropical downpour with a hurricane in our town. The hurricane came from Narkomvod, and it was in district of Gromov Square, Tupolev street, Garnaev street and Nizhegorodskaya street.

The disaster lasted for about 10 minutes, but it broke a lot of trees in our park. Some buildings in Zhukovsky and in Flying-test Institute lost their roofs Luckily, nobody died, but the traffic was stopped.

We think people won't forget about this disaster for a long time.

Transport in our town

Zhukovsky isn't a very big town, so a lot of people walk.

It's free but you can get tired and wet.

You can catch a bus. But in some places there are no buses. It's cheap (only 4 rubles) and you buy your ticket in the bus but sometimes you have to wait a long time.

You can go to by taxi. You don't have to wait a long time and you don't have to queue, but it's very expensive - 25 rubles. Or you can go by route taxi. It's cheaper than taxi (5 rubles), but the route like buses doesn't go in all streets. You buy your ticket in the route taxi.
