VISNOVA, Czech Republic — At least four people died and thousands of homes were damaged by flooding in eastern Romania on Saturday, officials said, as surging river levels put authorities on alert in
much of central and eastern Europe following days of torrential rain.

Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, southern Germany and parts of Austria are also expected to see more heavy rain.
“I feel sorry for the neighbors,” he said as he surveyed the floodwaters. In Prague, a city of more than 1.3 million people that sits on the banks of the Vltava river spanned by the picturesque 14th century Charles Bridge, flood barriers were put in place. The city heavily invested into preventive measures after the 2002 floods, which swept into the subway system and forced tens of thousands of people from their homes.
