Flooding In Greece Kills At Least 14 Damage, More Floods Feared

Destruction from severe flash flooding in Greece
this week

The weather across the United States is relatively quiet, other than quite a bit of wind and rain over the Pacific Northwest. 

However, as usual, the weather isn't staying quiet in other parts of the world.

The worst and most tragic situation is in Greece, where flash flooding has killed at least 15 people and has left widespread destruction.

The hardest hit area seems to be a heavily populated region called Attica, near Athens. The Greek government has declared three days of mourning because of the disaster.

Forecasters fear a that the weather pattern over the Mediterranean will encourage more heavy rain and flooding in Greece over the next couple of days.

Here's a video of a the powerful floodwaters, and a Greek highway overrun with water, with scary results. It reminds me of an even worse version of the extremely frightening 2016 flash flood in downtown Ellicott City, Maryland.
