Two fatalities were reported on Lemnos island as severe weather swept across Greece on Saturday, November 30.
A 57-year-old farmer was found dead after being overtaken by floodwaters while using a tractor to free his car from mud. Shortly afterward, a 70-year-old man was discovered deceased in his flooded home, with the cause of death under investigation.
A 112 evacuation alert was issued to residents in the Kontia community after a dam overflowed. Lemnos Mayor Eleonora Georga highlighted extensive damage across the island, including flooded homes in the capital, Myrina, and disruptions to roads, electricity and drinking water.
Storm Bora, driven by a low-pressure system over the Ionian Sea, has brought heavy rain, thunderstorms, and gale-force winds to Greece, with the National Meteorological Service warning of severe conditions persisting until Tuesday, December 3. Regions such as western Macedonia and Thessaly are expected to face the brunt of the storm.
Emergency alerts were sent to residents in Central Macedonia, Thessaly, Attica, and Rhodes, cautioning them against outdoor movement. On Lemnos and Rhodes, bans on vehicle movement were imposed due to safety concerns.
Authorities and emergency crews remain on high alert as storms continue to impact multiple areas across the country.
