BUCHAREST, Romania — Four people in eastern Romania have been found dead after torrential storms dumped unprecedented rain, leaving hundreds stranded in flooded areas, emergency authorities said Saturday.
The storms battered 19 localities in eight counties in Romania, with strong winds downing dozens of trees that damaged cars and blocked roads and traffic. Authorities sent text message alerts to residents to warn them of adverse weather as emergency services rushed to remove floodwaters from homes. Romanian President Klaus Iohannis offered his condolences to the victims' bereaved families, writing on Facebook:"We must continue to strengthen our capacity to anticipate extreme weather phenomena."
In neighboring Austria, authorities declared 24 villages in the northeast Lower Austria province"disaster zones" on Saturday afternoon and began evacuating residents from those areas.
