Torrential Downpour Disrupts Life on Greek Islands

Severe rainstorms wreaked havoc on the Greek islands of Mykonos and Paros, leading to the closure of schools and kindergartens. The torrential rain, accompanied by hailstorms, caused significant flooding, turning roads into rivers and stranding vehicles. Authorities in Paros reported extensive damage to infrastructure, with Mayor Costas Bizas describing the devastation as occurring within just two hours.
