Cyclone "Erminio" paralyzed Greece, bringing intense rain, strong winds, and floods that turned streets into rivers. One person died in the Nea Makri area in Attica.

In Palia Amos, a tornado overturned a truck used for transporting agricultural products. The fire service received 133 emergency calls for tree removal, debris clearing, and water pumping.

Greece is simultaneously facing a double natural disaster - the cyclone and a massive wave of Saharan dust covering Crete and the Cyclades. Schools are closed, and citizens have been urged to limit their movements.

Meteorologists warn of a new wave of severe weather. Attica, the Peloponnese, Crete, and the Dodecanese will be the hardest hit, with heavy rains and thunderstorms. The Saharan dust is expected to persist until Friday.
