Heavy rains and
melting snow have caused floods in parts of Romania, leaving 1,400 people
stranded and flooding many homes. In Buzau county, some 1,400 people were cut
off when a road connecting the villages Terca and Ploştina to Lopatari was
washed away by the River Slănic, which burst its banks. Numerous homes are also
reported to be flooded in Bistriţa.
“The only way to
access Terca and Ploştina, the road connecting the two villages to Lopatari has
been destroyed and the area cannot even be reached on foot. Protective dikes on
the River Slănic were damaged and pedestrian bridges destroyed. It is an extremely
serious situation, we are now assessing the damage and sending the Inspectorate
for Emergency Situations in Buzau. If the rain stops, we could resolve the
situation in two or three days, if not, God knows,” said Lopatari Mayor Vasile
Popescu today (April 4 ), quoted by local news organization Mediafax. The
flooding started last night and in the early hours of this morning. Emergency
services are unable to reach the 1,400 people cut off by the floods.
Extremely heavy rain
last night, reaching over 30 litres per sqm in some parts of Buzau, where it
has been raining for 12 hours, caused the River Slănic to burst its banks,
damaging to roads and bridges and resulting in widespread flooding.
The river Jiu was also
placed under code red for flooding in Dolj county, while other rivers in the
country are under orange alert for flooding: Trotuş, Putna, Râmnicu Sărat,
Crişul Negru, Crişul Alb, among others.
