At least three people died and four were missing after torrential rain flooded homes and businesses and destroyed infrastructure in central Greece, the fire brigade said, writes Reuters.

Since Monday, Storm Daniel has triggered landslides, destroyed a bridge, caused the collapse of power poles and carried away dozens of cars in muddy waters, days after a two-week deadly wildfire died out in the north.

The body of an elderly woman was recovered close to a seaside community in the southern Pelion area. A man was hit by a vehicle in the area of Karditsa, raising the death toll from severe weather in Greece to three. On Tuesday, a man died after a wall collapsed in bad weather in Volos and about 94 residents were moved to safety after torrential rain damaged part of their nursing home.

Authorities were looking for four missing people, Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias said in a televised news conference. Some 10 people were trapped on the banks of a torrent in southern Pelion.
