BUCHAREST — Three people died and several hundreds were forced to evacuate as surging flood waters submerged villages in Eastern Europe on Tuesday.

Two people, including a 72-year-old man, also drowned in Romania as floods raged in different regions, said Interior Minister Gabriel Oprea. A passenger train derailed in the same area after a small bridge caved in due to flooding, but there were no immediate reports of injuries, the national railway said.
Seventy Bulgarian villages and parts of the city of Gabrovo were left without electricity and water supply was disrupted as the flooding destroyed some of the water and sewerage infrastructure. The rains also induced landslides and destroyed bridges, and many roads in the region were blocked by mud and debris.
Romania has had its wettest summer in years.
Meaning temperatures by necessity must be below normal.
