ATHENS: Floods after heavy storms trapped some people in their cars and forced the evacuation of some tourists on the Greek holiday island of Crete, local officials said Saturday.
The force of the flooding washed some cars and trees into the sea.
"We had to evacuate a few tourists and a woman had to be taken to hospital as a precaution," the mayor of the Cretan port of Ierapetra, Manolis Frangoulis, told AFP.
The town, on the southeast coast of Crete, was hit by torrential rain Friday and Saturday, cutting off roads that had been filled with debris.
