Freak
Storms Hit Cyprus
|
NICOSIA
(Reuters) - Torrential rain, hail and strong winds caused
havoc in parts of normally sunny Cyprus on Monday, flooding
homes and uprooting trees, authorities said. The tourist resort
of Paphos on the island"s western coast was hit by a
freak hailstorm early on Monday morning. A deluge coupled
with strong winds felled trees which crashed into vehicles.
"We got more than 40 calls to pump water out of homes,"
a fire brigade spokesman said. The weather also affected power
supplies to the region, the electricity authority said. Cyprus
has been suffering a severe drought for the past four years,
broken intermittently by unusually heavy storms.
