Romania Floods: 140 Evacuated as Heavy Rains Cause Havoc in Covasna County

Flooding in Covasna County, Romania: 140 Evacuated as Heavy Rains Continue Heavy rains have caused significant flooding in Covasna County, Romania, prompting authorities to evacuate 140 people from several localities. The situation is particularly critical in Băcel, where the Black River has overflowed its banks, inundating homes and fields. "The water level has risen so much that the river could overflow at any moment," reported Adrian Jătăreanu, a Kanal D correspondent reporting live from Băcel. "Authorities decided to evacuate 140 people last night because of the risk." Firefighters are working to control the situation, using pumps to remove water from flooded areas. However, meteorologists predict more heavy rain and strong winds, with warnings of up to 80 liters of rain per square meter. A section of National Road 13C has been closed due to flooding. Similar flooding occurred in the region in 2018, causing hardship for many families. While the immediate evacuation effort is underway, the risk of further flooding remains a serious concern for the residents of Covasna County.
