A woman drowned in her apartment in northeastern Peloponnesian city of Argos following flooding by heavy rain and thunderstorms that began on Saturday and continued all day throughout Sunday. Authorities have yet to identify the woman but some reports are claiming that she was from Serbia.
Fire brigade units from all over the Peloponnese were called to Argos at the weekend to help the people in the city that had been highly afflicted with flooding.
There were many other floodings in other areas of the Peloponnese as well. For instance, in Corinth, in Kiato, etc.
In the southern portion of the Peloponnese, schools were shut down in the Kynouria district, especially in main production town of Leonidio, which also flooded when the sea rose and overran cultivations.
Rock slides led to the shutting down of the Tripoli-Astros road, but would be cleared by midday Monday, while the mayor of North Kynouria was quoted by reporters as saying that the biggest dilemma by far was the debris carried by the Argolid rivers that has now washed up by the shore.
