Torrential rains and heavy floods swept through regions of Slovenia on Friday, cutting off roads and bridges and surging into buildings.
The prime minister described the devastation as “catastrophic.”
Authorities in the central city of Celje ordered evacuations of around 4,000 people,
roughly one-tenth of the town's population as the surging Savinja River overflowed its banks.
Upstream in the town of Ljubno, the same river swept away houses and caused landslides.
A freeway in Slovenia that bridges Ljubljana with the northern part of the country had to be shut down
along with some rail lines. Waters from overflowing rivers damaged bridges and several homes.
Regional civil protection commander said the "entire Gorenjska region is underwater."
Rescuers struggled to reach flooded areas and issued a public call for dinghies in places where roads were impassable due to landslides.
