Main streets in Bulgaria's capital Sofia have been flooded after torrential rains drenched the city on Monday morning.
The high level of collected water brought traffic along major arteries to a standstill, Civil Defence service reported.
The reason for the floods is the clogging of shafts.
Strong winds that blew in the town the previous night broke branches, damaging draining facilities and clogging shafts.
Meanwhile heavy rains, coupled with thunderstorms, are continuing to lash the whole of Bulgaria.
The regions of Blagoevgrad, Western Bulgaria, Haskovo, Southern Bulgaria, and Burgas on the Black Sea coast are the hardest-hit.
