It’s one of the country’s worst known recent natural disasters: 11 inches of rain were dumped on the Black Sea coast late Friday and early Saturday, equivalent to three months of rainfall in a normal year. Massive flash flooding ensued, with no warning from the authorities, and residents who managed to escape their engulfed homes were forced to abandon their property and seek makeshift refuge in higher areas. At least 200 people have lost their lives, and thousands more have lost homes, shops, and automobiles as they scramble to salvage what is left. See photos of the aftermath.
