The Balkans were hit by a massive storm with heavy rainfall and very strong winds. The places that were heavily affected were Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia. The worst hit was Croatia’s Zagreb, where the massive storm led to flash floods. About two people lost their lives, and several were injured. The region was experiencing extremely hot and dry days and was then hit by two storms back-to-back.

Massive Storm Hits Croatia’s Zagreb

The Balkans faced a massive storm, which was the second one in two days, on Wednesday. The massive storm brought flash floods and led to deaths. 

The city’s main street was flooded with rainwater, leading to the shutdown of public transport on certain routes. The storm caused a lot of destruction in Zagreb, Slovenia, and Bosnia too. Emergency services are working on restoring power to the buildings and streets, the following morning. 

Two people died because they were hit by falling trees. One was 48 years old and was sitting in his car when the tree fell, killing him. The other one was 50 years old, and the tree fell on him. Both victims suffered multiple head injuries.

Similar Incident, Three Years Back

A 36-year-old man got seriously injured after a construction crane collapsed. The sky was darkened when the storm occurred in Zagreb, leading to flash floods, blinding rain, and strong winds. The storm occurred at 4pm and the city’s transportation system was halted. It also caused power outages, and the streets were blocked because of fallen trees. 

Hundreds of people called the Zagreb emergency services for help. The services asked people to be patient, as there were many who needed help. Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomasevic asked the people to call only if they were in a life-threatening situation until the situation came under control. 

A terrible storm had hit the city around the same time three years ago. The storm actually brought back the black memories of the one that hit in the past.
