There's been some severe storm activity reported from Greece, particularly the island of Skopelos where Mamma Mia! was filmed.

Images of cars being swept away evoke memories of the Boscastle flood. I visited the area in August and remember that a lot of the landscape has a steep gradient - a Boscastle type situation is obviously easily possible.

Local WX info from the area is sketchy but a weather station on neighbouring Skiathos reported 151.4mm from the storm - that's three times what falls in Wanstead in an average September. Of course much more could have fallen elsewhere. I wonder if anyone on here knows of a weather station on Skopelos? Yannis?

Here's the report:

I also wrote a piece after experiencing storms 3 nights running when I stayed there in August.
