A potent storm system, intensified by a Saharan dust storm, has unleashed havoc across Greece, painting the skies above Crete in a surreal, blood-red hue. This convergence of weather phenomena has led to tragic consequences, including the death of a 55-year-old man in Nea Makri, who was fatally swept away by floodwaters after being trapped under a car. The storm's impact has been widespread, with the fire department responding to over 500 calls for assistance, involving the rescue of 33 individuals stranded by floodwaters, the removal of fallen trees obstructing roadways, and the pumping of water from inundated homes.
