  • [01] Torrential rain floods NE Peloponnese; woman drowns in Argos apt.

  • [01] Torrential rain floods NE Peloponnese; woman drowns in Argos apt.

    A woman drowned in her apartment in northeastern Peloponnesian city of Argos following flooding by heavy rain and thunderstorms that started Saturday and continued into Sunday.

    The woman has not been identified yet but may be of Serb origin and was found in her apartment in Argos, the city to bear the brunt of the flooding in Greece when two local rivers overflowed.

    Fire brigade units from throughout the Peloponnese were called to Argos to help people in the city that had become unapproachable because of the height of the waters.

    Several villages in the same area were also affected and power went out, both in mountain and valley villages.

    The major hub of Corinth, which links the mainland with the Peloponnese, also had problems with flooding and the fire brigade called in at least 30 cases to pump water out while nearby Kiato units got as many as 100 for help in getting people out of their homes and pumping water.

    Further south in the Peloponnese, schools were shut down in the Kynouria district, especially in main production town of Leonidio, which flooded when the sea rose and overran cultivations. Rock slides led to the shutting down of the Tripoli-Astros road, which is expected to be cleared by midday Monday, while the mayor of North Kynouria said the worst problem was the garbage carried by the Argolid rivers that has washed up by the shore.
