The situation could worsen too. The area of low pressure responsible could stall over the Mediterranean in the coming days, continuing the heavy rainfall over Greece. #medicane #greeceflooding pic.twitter.com/fQ7PmtXeQf

My goodness! Zagora, Greece recorded a jaw-dropping 528 mm (21 inches) of rain in just 10 hours – an additional 300-500 mm, locally up to 600 mm, of rain could fall by Thursday. A historic flooding event is underway! pic.twitter.com/7swtHuCFVI

Some parts of Volos, Greece are almost unrecognizable after the Krafsidonas river overflowed its banks. The devastation is immense and we still do not know the extent of it. Historic and catastrophic rain event. pic.twitter.com/ZlOIK9KKrb

Severe storms swept across Greece Thursday, flooding hundreds of homes in Athens and prompting evacuations on the island of Evia that was ravaged by summer wildfires.
Rescuers were also preparing to use helicopters to lift stranded people off rooftops in flooded and remote areas on the northwestern island of Corfu, Civil Protection and Climate Change Minister Christos Stylianides said.
“There is no doubt that we are facing a dangerous weather phenomenon that is very serious in some parts of the country,” said Stylianides, a former European commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management.
