In eastern Romania, five people died in flooding caused by heavy rains. This was reported by the Associated Press on Saturday, September 14.

The worst-hit areas were in the eastern counties of Galati and Vaslui, where rescuers found the bodies of three women and two elderly men.

In total, the disaster affected 19 communities in eight counties. Strong winds toppled dozens of trees, damaged cars and blocked roads and traffic.

Romania’s Environment Minister Mircea Fecet said some flooded areas received more than 160 liters of rain per square meter, which he said was a rare occurrence.

Stormy weather has hit Romania while several central European countries – the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Germany, Slovakia and Hungary – are expecting severe flooding over the weekend.

In the Czech Republic, river water reached dangerous levels in dozens of places across the country on Saturday morning, flooding houses and roads in several towns and villages. Heavy rain and strong winds left more than 63 thousand households without power. A hospital in the Czech Republic’s second largest city, Brno, was evacuated. Dozens of rail lines were blocked by fallen trees or flood waters.

Heavy rain also hit Moldova on Saturday, where rescuers pumped floodwaters from dozens of homes in several communities, authorities said.

In Poland, dozens of people were evacuated Saturday from two villages near the city of Nysa after meteorologists warned of heavy rain and water levels in several rivers in the area rose sharply, said Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak.

Earlier this year, China experienced its worst floods in half a century. Then, more than 110 thousand people had to be evacuated.
