The situation in Paros after the bad weather.
The biggest problem on the island was recorded in Naoussa, the roads of which looked like a dirt lake. Houses, possessions, loads have been immersed in water and mud.
The high intensity of the rain resulted in the creation of rushing torrents that drove everything. Within a few hours, 70mm of rain in Naoussa were recorded by the EMY station.
The inhabitants fought with the water, trying to save their possessions.

The large, rushing volume of water broke the railings in Naoussa, trapping cars on the area’s bridge and driving some others into the sea, along with motorbikes and trash bins.
The last time the island had experienced a corresponding bad weather was in 2000, when the river was swollen again, causing huge damage.
Flooded the Mykonos cobbled streets
A similar picture in Mykonos, where the alleys and cobbled streets of the island flooded and many businesses and shops were destroyed by rushing waters and mud.
The well -known alleys of the island were immersed in the water, with businessmen fighting to get the waters out of their shops. The water dragged tables in the sea and cars in the cobblestones.
