Athens - One man died and another was missing on Sunday after storms washed away roads and flooded homes and farms across Greece, reports said. The body of a man was recovered after his car was swept away by a river in the hardest hit region of Grevena, located east of the northern port city of Thessaloniki.
Another man was reported missing after his car was swept away near the northern town of Pella. Two other people, the man's wife and daughter, ravelling in the same vehicle managed to escape.
Fire fighters rescued dozens of people trapped in their homes in northern and central Greece. Dozens of animals drowned, as farms and crops were damaged by the heavy rains.
The National Weather Service (EMY) said storms were expected to lift later on Monday.
