Don’t mess with Mother Nature.

A stunning new video shows a raging flash flood ripping through a Serbian village — sweeping away cars, trees and chunks of homes.

The torrential downpour turned a road in Tekija into a roaring river of debris that claimed at least one man’s life and forced hundreds to evacuate, Europics reported.

The video was captured by a resident of Tekija who refused to leave his home during the catastrophic weather.

Violent rain started in the Balkans and neighboring Croatia last week.

A total of 15 villages were pummeled in the Kladovo region, near the border with Romania, where main roads were badly flooded or destroyed. The rain swallowed up bridges and cut off power supplies and telephone lines.

The region only recently recovered from heavy flooding that claimed several lives in May.

There is likely to be more flooding and violent weather, said Croatian climatologist Vladimir Paar.

“The entire Central Europe will eventually be under ice. We can’t say exactly when, but I believe it’s clear that we are closer to an ice age and to global warming,” Paar said.

Two-thirds of Croatia reported problems with flooding earlier this week.
