Instead of rest - escape from the elements. Weather armageddon in Rhodes

The damage occurred, among others: in the town of Archangelos on the east coast. The disaster took away at least 60 cars and damaged dozens of apartments and businesses. Other towns such as Afantou and Lindos also suffered.

Emergency services have their hands full: they are pumping out water, removing debris and trying to make the roads passable again as quickly as possible.

Weather alerts are in force throughout the island, and the authorities - for the safety of children and teachers - have decided to close schools.

Videos and photos documenting weather Armageddon in Rhodes appeared on social media. They show cars being carried away by water, floating garbage containers and people observing this horror from a safe distance.

Downpours also hit the island of Kalymnos - there, a huge boulder slid down from a mountain slope, hitting a home garage. Fortunately, this prevented it from moving further towards the residential houses.

The weather also took its toll in the central part of the country. In the town of Volos, intense rainfall led to damage to water and sewage networks and city lighting. The streets are still flooded and residents are counting their losses.

Meteorologists reassure us that Tuesday will be the last day of intense rainfall and storms. Alerts are still in force, but the weather is expected to improve from Wednesday.
