Several dead in Romania as eastern Europe struck by torrential rain and flooding

Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, southern Germany, and parts of Austria have all been hit by heavy rainfall in recent days.

At least four people have died after widespread flooding across eastern and central Europe. More rainfall is expected in the coming days as surging river levels have put authorities on alert. Tens of thousands of homes have been damaged so far in Romania and the Czech Republic, where more rain is forecast. The four deaths took place in eastern Romania in Galati county, where about 5,000 homes were damaged and 25,000 people were left without power.

Police said a 54-year-old man is missing after he fell into a flooded stream in the southeast of the country, while three people were reportedly swept away in a car in the northeast and their whereabouts are unknown. In the village of Visnova, 87 miles north of Prague, Roman Christof's cottage escaped damage because it was built on higher land. 'I feel sorry for the neighbours,' he said as he surveyed the floodwaters that had hit other locals.
