    One person killed, hundreds flooded as snow melts in Armenia


    Melting snows and strong winds in Armenia flooded hundreds of homes
    and caused one death, officials said Wednesday.

    One man was killed in the city of Idzhevan because of a tree felled
    by the strong winds that buffeted the Caucasus nation, the Emergency
    Situations Ministry said. Hundreds of homes were flooded across the
    country, and the harsh weather also affected the capital Yerevan.

    Winds blew roofs off houses, downing power lines and starting forest
    fires. Exact damage figures weren't known.

    The weather calmed by later Wednesday.
