Paros and Mykonos in the Greek Islands were hit by a severe storm on Monday, March 31, causing widespread flooding throughout the island.
The Cyclades region, including Paros, Mykonos and the Greek Islands of Syros, are receiving red warnings for merciless thunderstorms leading to merciless thunderstorms and gorgeous floods. This led authorities to close schools and impose a ban on all traffic except emergency vehicles.
The storm first hit Paros on Monday, and then flooding was bad enough to sweep garbage and vehicles onto the road before moving to other islands.
The floods on the popular tourist island of Mykonos were not that severe, but locals were still issued a ban on movement through emergency warnings.
People take them to social media and warn people about coming to the island, while also showing that the storm has left the island.
In the video, as you go down a narrow road, flooding passes through white and blue homes where brown water is well known. A temporary waterfall was also seen washing away the island's cliffs.
“It's a brother's journey,” one video said. Water floods were seen washing away cliffs near the home.
In the second video, a man is seen standing on an open bar counter with a broom, appearing to prevent flooding.
The video, which was then cut into the car, was seen hitting the stairs as the water had almost reached the car's windows, and continued to pass.
In Mykonos, excavators were used to clear the flood path as they passed coastal cafes and restaurants, usually full of locals and tourists.
According to EuroNews, the National Weather Service has issued a warning that torrential rains and thunderstorms are expected to continue until Wednesday morning. The most affected areas of the storm are the Ionian Islands, the mainland, Macedonia, Thracia, Aegean Sea and Attica.
Residents and tourists in affected areas will be required to be vigilant amidst the ongoing storm and follow official safety guidelines.
If you are planning a Mykonos or Pyros holiday, we recommend keeping your situation up to date by listening to the guidelines set as the flood continues.
