The hurricane that ripped through the region in June 1904 left a significant imprint on Mytishchi. Many buildings, including the Mytishchi Railcar-Building Plant, were damaged. And the Sharapovo village was the one that suffered major devastation. The hurricane came from Moscow, which took its brunt. The journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky who witnesses this event gave his description of the disaster that happened in Moscow in the Russkoye Slovo (literally: Russian Word) newspaper:

The hurricane left traces in our region, too. In Mytishchi and its vicinity, trees were uprooted, forming heaps in the forests of the Moose Island. Forge pipes at the Mytishchi Railcar-Building Plant snapped like matches, freight cars ready for departure were scattered across the territory of the factory, roofs were torn off of all shops together with frameworks. The speedy winds and twisters lifted wagons off the ground and threw them hundred of meters away. A lot of cattle died.

In the nearby Yadreevo and Rupasovo, the wind tore roofs off several houses, destroyed barns, and threw haystacks about. Only the sturdiest buildings on the outskirts of Sharapovo, near the railroad station, survived, including the house of the car-building factory’s director and houses of the workers of the Mytishchi station. To celebrate the miraculous rescue of Sharapovo, the village headman Prokuronov funded the painting of the icon of Tikhon Amafuntovsky that was placed in the main side chapel of the Vladimir Church in Bolshie Mytishchi. Every year on June 16, the village arranged a cross procession and took this icon to every house.
