Strong winds rip massive metal rooftop from school building during storm in Pyshma, Russia

On November 6, 2026, in Pyshma, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, a security camera captured a large metal rooftop being torn off a multi-story school building by powerful winds. In the video, strong gusts gradually lift and peel back the school's metal roofing structure before the massive gabled section separates from the building. One side of the roof is lifted high into the air, twisting and crumpling as dust and debris rise from the exposed upper floor. The remaining section appears heavily warped and folded backward. According to reports, the incident occurred in Pyshma, where students reportedly heard a loud roaring sound during class as the roof was torn away. Children were kept inside the building while teachers waited for the storm to subside. Stanislav Fominykh, head of the Pyshminsky Municipal District, explained that strong wind gusts and ongoing roof damage made it safer for everyone to remain indoors.
