ATHENS – Strong autumn storms caused damage and difficulties in many parts of Greece on Saturday. On the island of Crete, a 50-year-old man was swept away by the masses of water in his car in heavy rain and died, as the daily newspaper “Kathimerini” reported.
Several people would also be missing. A violent change in the weather from Friday to Saturday surprised people; on Crete, the region around the port city of Heraklion was particularly badly affected. dpa
