The rain has hit the Constanta County with fury. The youthâs resort, Costinesti, has been aggravated the most seriously. Five people are dead, several disappeared, tens of houses are about to fall, and most of the granges are flooded. They describe the picture of a resort that was full of joy a few weeks ago.
In the Constanta County, the rain came with fury. Localities like Costinesti, Techirghiol, Tuzla, 23 August are flooded. The picture is similar to the one in Bacau in the summer. Unfortunately, like two months ago in Moldova, there are victims in Dobrogea as well. The symbol of the Costinesti resort, the obelisk, the meeting point of many generations of tourists, is no more. The waters swallowed it.
The situation is critical. The houses in many villages are about to fall. Five people are dead in Costinesti only, where most of the granges are flooded, and ten houses have been completely destroyed by the floods. The waters took a woman while she was walking on the sea front. The body was found in an area in which the water is three meters deep.
CHILDREN SAVED BY BOAT 23 children aged between 3 and 7 were stuck yesterday morning in a kindergarten in Costinesti, which was surrounded by 2-meter-deep water. They could have drowned in any moment, and they were agitated and scared. A few hours later, they were saved by the boats of the Frontier Police and of the Navy Operational Commandment. Now, they are in a safe area. The same boats had to come back to rescue several villagers that had taken refuge on the roofs of their houses. A helicopter of the MND (Ministry of National Defense), which managed to fly in spite of the bad weather and visibility, found them. Like in Timis and Bacau, many volunteers came with their own boats to help evacuating the people. It will be difficult at night, because the power went down in Costinesti and Schitu.
