Two men die in floodwaters on Lemnos island; Storm warning issued for Attica

A 57-year-old farmer died Saturday after being swept away by floodwaters in the Fteri area of Lemnos island. Firefighters recovered his body as severe weather battered the island.

Authorities said the man was using a tractor to free his car from mud when rushing water overtook him.

Another man, 70, was found dead in his flooded home shortly afterward. Local news agencies reported that it remains unclear whether his death resulted from a fall or natural causes.

A 112 evacuation alert was issued to residents of the Kontia community on Lemnos after a nearby dam overflowed.

Lemnos Mayor Eleonora Georga reported widespread damage, including flooded homes in the island's capital, Myrina, and unsafe drinking water. Roads and electricity infrastructure were also impacted. Emergency crews have been pumping water from affected areas.
