Storm Boris wreaked havoc in Central and Eastern Europe, leading to a rise in the death toll as floods caused destruction in the region. Tragedies unfolded with one drowning in Poland, a firefighter losing his life in Austria, and two more fatalities in Romania due to the relentless storms.
Thousands faced evacuation in the Czech Republic as rivers overflowed from days of torrential rain. The low-pressure system, Boris, unleashed downpours from Austria to Romania, causing severe flooding not seen in decades in areas like the Czech Republic and Poland.
Despite the rain easing in Romania, the region still faces challenges with damaged homes, collapsed bridges, and power outages affecting hundreds of thousands. The situation prompted declarations of disaster zones and urgent warnings against travel in affected regions.
In the wake of the chaos, efforts are underway to rescue missing individuals and restore normalcy in the affected areas. As countries like Hungary brace for potential record river levels, communities come together to rebuild and recover from the devastating impact of Storm Boris.
