Orange storm alert today...(PaphosPress)

Post by cyprusmax47 »

We could see the first heavy rain today in Paphos district, which is not unusual for the third week of October. Here Google translation of the article:

"An orange storm alert was issued by the Meteorological Service from 12 noon to six in the afternoon.

According to the warning, isolated heavy thunderstorms are expected to affect the area, with the rainfall likely to exceed 55 mm / h. Hail may also occur.

As noted in the Communication, the public is required to be prepared for strong storms that have a significant impact and to take lightning protection measures.

Damages can be caused to property and trees. Floods, wind gusts and hail may occur. Problems are expected in transport and in outdoor activities."

Well, you was lucky then, I had 2 hours power cut and the thunder and lightning was going on for hours in my area which is not that far away from Paphos town. A lot of damage reported from EAC... which was also yesterday when "wunderground" forecasted obviously only partly cloudy :lol:

Friends of ours posted photos of the damages to their garden and flooding on the outskirts of Episkopi village in Limassol. They said it was the worst storm they've experienced in Cyprus for 14yrs.
