Two men have died as torrential rains and gale-force winds cause flooding and damage across Greece,
BBC reports.
More than 30cm of rain was reported to have fallen on the island of Rhodes - one of the first areas to be impacted by Storm Bora - since Saturday.
The deaths occurred on the island of Lemnos where flooding damaged roads and buildings and residents were asked to evacuate their homes, amid fears that a dam could overflow.
Damage has also been reported in Greece's second-largest city of Thessaloniki on the mainland, with the rain and storms likely to affect the majority of the country in the hours to come, the National Meteorological Service of Greece said.
On Lemnos, the rural road network linking the villages of Kontias with Thanos and Agios Dimitris has been completely destroyed.
A 70-year-old man in Kontias died when he fell over as he tried to clear up his house. A 57-year-old farmer was found dead by firefighters after being reported missing by his family near a flooded dam close to the village.
According to police sources, he drowned after being swept away by rushing waters while trying to free his car, which had become stuck in mud within a stream.
Residents in Kontias were asked to evacuate their homes as there is a fear that the dam will overflow.
The situation on Rhodes was described as "dramatic" by residents.
A 24-hour ban on vehicle movement on the road network has been imposed on the island.
During the night, several people were trapped by rushing waters, after many roads became flooded.
