Greece's fire department says more than 800 people have been rescued over the past two days from floods after severe rainstorms turned streets into raging torrents, hurling cars into the sea and washing away roads.
Floodwaters and mud cover the land after the country's record rainstorm, in Larissa, Thessaly region, central Greece, Thursday, Sept. 7, 2023. The death toll from severe rainstorms that lashed parts of Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria increased after rescue teams in the three neighboring countries recovered more bodies.
The flooding follows on the heels of devastating wildfires that destroyed vast tracts of forest and farmland, burned homes and left more than 20 people dead. Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said some areas received more than twice the average annual rainfall of Athens in the space of 12 hours.
