GREECE HIT by FLOODING — STATE OF EMERGENCY Declared (Latest Updates)

Severe storms battered Greece on October 14, 2026, bringing torrential rain, flash flooding, dangerous winds, and widespread travel disruption across Rhodes, Evia, Skiathos, and other parts of the country. On Rhodes, more than 10 inches of rain fell in a single morning, turning roads into rivers, flooding buildings, and sweeping four cars into the sea at Stegna beach. One man, identified in later reports as a 62-year-old hotel worker, died after floodwaters carried him away. Rhodes has declared a state of emergency as inspectors assess damaged buildings and infrastructure. On Evia, overflowing rivers prompted evacuations, while flooded roads isolated communities. Skiathos also reported significant damage, including at least 40 affected businesses, as authorities began assessing the impact across the islands. In this video, we examine the deadly flooding on Rhodes, emergency evacuations across Evia, the damage reported on Skiathos, and the weather system that brought intense rainfall and powerful Aegean winds. We also look at the next storm forecast to reach eastern Greece and the islands on Friday, October 16. Although the immediate storm is weakening, saturated ground and swollen rivers could leave vulnerable communities exposed to renewed flooding. Authorities are inspecting schools and public buildings before reopening, while residents and emergency crews prepare for another round of unsettled weather.
