Yesterday, firefighters were called to the village more than 20 times. Water had to be pumped out of houses, cellars, garages, but luckily none of the properties concerned became uninhabitable, writes MTI.
According to Időkép weather forecast website, several parts of the country were hit by a month's worth of heavy rain. According to the website, probably the most serious situation was at an underpass in Szolnok, where cars were almost fully submerged in the water:
Storms and heavy rains caused disruption in traffic and on railways in many places. Near Tiszalök, at least five trees fell on the road, while in Egyek in Hajdú-Bihar County, a 15-meter-long tree split into two. The water flooded the cellars of several houses in the affected areas, sometimes even up to one meter high.
