In the last night, Crete experienced stormy winds and heavy rain, significantly affecting the island's infrastructure and safety. Reports indicated various localized issues, particularly in the inland areas of Heraklion and the southern part of Crete. As the rainfall intensified into a storm, authorities noted severe impacts on transportation and public safety.

The municipality of Faistos was particularly hard hit, facing multiple minor problems including road flooding from mud and debris. Rainstorms caused significant water accumulation in several streets, which led to disrupted traffic and public safety concerns. Notably, a bridge on the road to Tympaki collapsed around midnight, leading to immediate actions from local authorities to close the road and prevent accidents. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities of the region's infrastructure to extreme weather conditions.

In addition to Crete, similar severe weather patterns have been reported in Chios, illustrating a broader trend of adverse weather across multiple regions in Greece. Such incidents are not only a cause for immediate emergency responses but also raise concerns about climatic changes and their implications for future weather patterns in the Mediterranean region. As residents and local governments assess the damage, recovery efforts will need to focus on infrastructure reinforcement and increased preparedness for similar future events.
