Storm dumps huge amounts of rain on Greek island of Evia, leaves at least 7 dead, including a baby.
Heavy machinery moves away debris from a destroyed street following a storm at the village of Politika, on Evia island, northeast of Athens, on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2020. An elderly couple and an 8-month-old baby have been found dead and dozens have been trapped in their homes and cars from a storm that has hit the island of Evia, in central Greece, police say.
Greece’s meteorological service said parts of Evia saw rainfall that reached 300 millimeters , some 80% of the annual rainfall for the area, which is only about 375 millimeters , usually with negligible rain during the summer. Later, one of the missing, an elderly woman, was found floating at sea off the coast, sitting on top of a bureau. She had climbed on it just as the floodwaters burst into her house.
