Bro, let me tell you what happened Friday night! Violent storms, bro, you'd have been scared too. In Galați, the wind was blowing at 70 km/h, seriously, and the rain came down at 40 liters per square meter. No joke! Trees uprooted, seven cars damaged - it was like a hurricane, not rain. People got three Ro-Alert messages: the first two warned of gales, and the last one said "get ready to evacuate, the flood is coming." In just an hour and a half, dozens of calls to 112, people screaming it was the end of the world. A surveillance camera caught a tree crashing onto cars - I think even I would have been scared if my BMW was there.
But it didn't stop there. In Poiana Brașov, on the road to the resort, a 30-meter section of the retaining wall collapsed. Now traffic is one-way, alternating, until they fix it. And depending on the expert assessment, they might impose tonnage restrictions - then you'll see the queue in Brașov. That's how it is with us, bro: when you want to escape to the mountains, the mountain stops you.
In Vaslui, the wind ripped off the facade of an old office building in the center. No one was hurt, but a parked car got trashed - chunks of masonry fell on it. Lucky no one was on the sidewalk, otherwise it would have been a tragedy. That's Vaslui, the poorest and most pissed-off county - even the weather doesn't spare them.
This unstable weather has scared the whole country. According to meteorologists, from Friday to Saturday there were 49 nowcasting warnings - yellow code for rain and wind. In Prahova, Saturday was orange code. The rain flooded DN72 near Ploiești, and firefighters pumped water out of homes and cut down fallen trees. Can you imagine, bro, sitting in your house and seeing the water coming in through the door?
Saturday evening, Bucharest and seven counties were under yellow code for rain. In the capital, it rained in spells, but nothing serious - just a few flash floods on the roads. Meteorologists say more rain, hail, and lightning are coming, and storms can appear unexpectedly. The yellow code for rain expires, but until 11 PM a yellow code for strong wind is still in effect. So keep your eyes peeled.
After the heatwave of the past few days, these rains have brought coolness, but also trouble. That's how it is with us, bro: when you think you're done with the heat, the storm hits you. I'm going to check if the BMW is parked safely and hide the antenna from the house. You guys stay put and don't go near those areas, because it's no joke!
