Flooding Cripples Șona: Road Impassable, Residents Struggle
Șona Road Remains Impassable Due to Severe Flooding Flooding in the Șona area of Romania has caused significant disruption, with the road to the town remaining impassable as of May 30, 2025. A video posted by local news outlet Salut Făgăraș shows the extent of the flooding, with the river overflowing its banks and submerging parts of the road and surrounding areas. The video shows a water pump actively working to remove floodwater from the area near a barrier of sandbags. This suggests ongoing efforts to mitigate the flood's impact. One resident, whose property is partially flooded, commented, "We've never seen anything like this before. The water rose so quickly." The flooding is impacting access to Șona, causing difficulties for residents and businesses alike. Local authorities are working to assess the damage and implement solutions. Despite the challenges, the community is showing resilience, with residents and emergency services working together to address the situation. The hope is that the water levels will recede soon, restoring access to Șona and allowing for repairs to begin.
