Nizhnaya Bakanskaya, Russia ? Heavy rain and wind swept southern Russia’s Black Sea coast on Friday, threatening more of the flooding that has killed at least 34 people in the region. One village was hit with a 6 1/2-foot wall of water.

Seven people died in other parts of Europe this week in floods caused by pounding storms, some dropping record rainfall.

Vehicles and other debris swept away by floodwaters rest in the Black Sea, near the village of Shirokaya Balka, Russia. Torrential floods that have devastated southern Russia and other parts of Europe claimed new victims Friday, as the death toll climbed above 30, most of them along Russia's Black Sea Coast.

Choking back sobs, 72-year-old Yevdokia Aksyonova surveyed what remained of her modest home a few bricks, a piece of iron bedpost, and a TV antennae poking out of the mud.

The 6 1/2-foot wall of water flashed through her village of Nizhnaya Bakanskaya on Thursday. When she returned from higher ground, Aksyonova found a huge, uprooted tree had rammed her house, smashing it to bits.

“How can I live now,” she said, huddling with her dog the only thing she did not lose in a shack that survived the flood. “I’ve lost everything I’ve saved during my life.”

At least 34 people have been killed along Russia’s Black Sea coast, the governor of Russia’s Krasnodar region, the governor of Russia’s Krasnodar region, Alexander Tkachev, told ORT state television. He said the flooding had done an estimated $32 million in damage.

Residents of Nizhnaya Bakanskaya were in shock Friday after the torrent of water that washed away homes, roads and people in the village of 8,000 people. Many residents are missing but the number isn’t known.

Sixteen of the dead in Russia were found in the village of Shirokaya Balka, near the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, the Emergency Situations Ministry said. Rescue workers there managed to save two people trapped under a collapsed house.

In Europe, severe rains caused floods that swept through towns and forced thousands to evacuate.

In the Czech Republic, a 21-year-old student was killed Thursday by a falling tree that crushed a cottage, and a firefighter died of a heart attack during a rescue operation elsewhere in the country. A 19-year-old girl was missing after her raft overturned on a swollen river, and authorities were searching for a man whose car was swept away in another river.

Two were dead in Romania and two farmers were killed in storms in Bulgaria. Police in Italy said lightning killed a 35-year-old fisherman Friday in the town of Porto Tolle, about 30 miles south of Venice. Heavy rains raised the sea level around Venice by 35 inches above average, raising fears of flooding there.

Forecasters in Austria warned more rain was expected to soak the hardest-hit areas this weekend. Vast parts of the provinces of Upper Austria and Lower Austria remained under water.

The province’s hydrological service called it the worst flooding since records began being kept in 1896. But water levels in the swollen Danube River were falling Friday, easing the threat of flooding in Vienna, said Christoph Langthaler, a municipal engineer.
