Shortly after the incident, Hungarian authorities declared a state of emergency in three counties and evacuated hundreds of people from the affected region as the fast-moving torrent, reaching 2m in places, flooded homes, swept away cars and damaged bridges.
Ubrzo posle incidenta, mađarske vlasti su proglasile vanredno stanje u tri okruga i evakuisale više stotina osoba iz pogođenog regiona, dok je bujica koja se brzo kretala, dostižući 2 metra na nekim mestima, poplavila kuće, odnela automobile i oštetila mostove.
