The Cyclades islands in the central Aegean Sea have been severely affected by relentless storms, leading to flooding and destruction. Crete experienced the worst conditions, with significant rainfall that trapped vehicles and caused rockslides. Authorities in islands like Paros and Mykonos are working to clear debris, and emergency aid has been requested. The storms, which also forced schools to close, follow an earlier earthquake swarm in the region, intensifying concerns for the safety of residents and tourists alike.
Authorities on the islands of Paros and Mykonos in the Aegean Sea worked to clear overturned cars and debris after hailstorms and torrential downpours on Tuesday.
Emergency government assistance has been requested by those islands to address road and infrastructure damage amidst record rainfall and severe flooding.
The storms primarily impacted islands in the Cyclades chain in the central Aegean, a popular holiday destination known for its beaches and whitewashed houses.
Schools were preventively shut on Tuesday on the islands of Paros, Mykonos, Rhodes, Kos, Kalymnos, Symi and Tilos due to the dangerous weather conditions.
