Two Dead As Rare Hurricane-Force Storm Lashes Greece- Tasnim News Agency

 At least two people have been killed as hurricane-force winds and heavy rains battered parts of Greece, causing electricity outages and road closures.


The Ionian Sea islands of Zakynthos, Kefalonia and Ithaca were all badly hit by Storm Ianos on Friday, as winds reaching 100 kilometres per hour (62 miles per hour) damaged buildings, uprooted trees, sank sailboats and left thousands along Greece's western coast without power.
The rare storm - known as a "medicane", a combination of Mediterranean and hurricane - then swept through central Greece, hitting mainly areas around the cities of Karditsa and Farsala, Aljazeera reported.
