    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A state of emergency was declared in the Black Sea city of Varna, which received torrential rain mixed with snow along with intense wind.

    Police reported that a man died Saturday after his van hit a fallen tree on a major boulevard in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

    Across the Black Sea, the severe weather also caused widespread damage and disruption in Turkey, including the splitting of a cargo ship and the evacuation of a prison.

    The Maritime General Directorate said the Cameroon-flagged Pallada “broke into two due to heavy weather conditions” after running aground amid 5-meter (15-foot) waves off Eregli, a coastal town 200 kilometers (124 miles) east of Istanbul.

    The weather hampered efforts to reach another cargo vessel, the Turkish-flagged Kafkametler, as the ship drifted close to a breakwater outside the town’s harbor.

    The private Demiroren news agency reported fallen trees, lamp posts and phone poles in Zonguldak and Sakarya provinces, as well as damage to buildings.
