Severe flooding in Greece leaves at least 6 dead and 6 missing, villages cut off

Widespread flooding in central Greece left at least six people dead, six missing and dozens trapped, with severe rainstorms feeding raging torrents that burst dams, washed away roads and bridges, hurled cars into the sea and left large areas without power or drinking water.
Flooding triggered by rainstorms also hit neighboring Bulgaria and Turkey, with rescue teams in Turkey on Thursday recovering the body of a 53-year-old man who had been missing since floods gushed through a campsite near the border with Bulgaria, sweeping away bungalows.
The recovery brought the death toll in Turkey to eight, and to a total of 18 in all three countries since the rains began Tuesday.
