A torrential stream came down the mountain from Pantokrator to Troumpeta and Skripero bringing with it stones, mud and other objects. The road was almost completely blocked and drivers had to proceed slowly and carefully at the point near the filling station.



In other parts of the island trees were uprooted by the strong winds including the road from Kanoni to Anemomylos near the Arion Hotel and in Viros.

According to other readers, there was flooding in Kanalia near the supermarket in Alepou and firefighters had to pump water out of a house.
