In Venus, tourists staying at one hotel found their cars full of water on Saturday morning.
And the popular tourist resort of Vama Veche is currently without electricity and an extensive cleanup operation is underway to repair the beach.
“Biblical flood! It started at about 1.00 am, a very powerful rain. You could not see one metre ahead,” said one local resident.
Local authorities say that despite the extensive property damage there have been no reports of any casualties.
Over 800 calls were received by ISU Dobrogea firefighters from people asking for help and since Friday night crews have been on the ground in 15 districts hardest hit by flooding.
