The entire country is under code yellow and orange
\nalerts against storms. Meteorologists even issued code red alerts against heavy
\nrain and hail for several towns and villages in the center, north and east of
\nthe country. The weather has been unstable in most of the country, with thunderstorms,
\nstrong wind and hail reported in isolated areas. Hydrologists too issued
\nseveral yellow and orange alerts against floods for rivers in 20 counties.
\nSeveral county and national roads in these regions were blocked due to
\nlandslides caused by heavy rain or trees uprooted by the wind. Blackouts were
\nalso reported in several towns and villages after electricity poles were taken
\nout by the strong wind. In some areas the hail destroyed crops, especially
\nprivate gardens, and some houses had their roofs blown off by the wind. <\/p>\n

Firefighters struggled to drain the water out of hundreds of flooded households
\nand clear damaged vehicles and electricity lines off the roads. Considering the
\nweather forecast for the immediate period, Emergency Situation Inspectorates
\nannounced their units remain on high alert to intervene in areas where new
\nfloods might occur. Moreover, the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations
\nis monitoring weather phenomena, standing by to deploy intervention units and
\ngear from counties that aren’t affected by these phenomena. Meanwhile
\nmeteorologists say the weather will remain unstable across the country, with
\npossible thunderstorms, heavy rain, windstorms and hail expected in isolated
\nareas. According to the National Meteorological Administration, the capital
\ncity Bucharest will see heavy rain and snap thunderstorms and possibly
\nwindstorms and hail. The amount of rainfall is expected to exceed normal
\nparameters over short periods of time. The Administration says the weather will
