Rhodes saw severe weather again on Saturday evening, with streets filling with water and mud.

The emergency 112 number sent out an alert at 2am Sunday calling on residents to limit their movements.

The bad weather hit the areas of Faliraki and Kalythia, and then spread to southern Rhodes and the city of Rhodes. Houses were also flooded in the Pylona area, while the streets were filled with water, mud and stones.

According to local news two people were evacuated from a trapped car on a flooded road in the Afantou area. Both have been transported to a safe location.

Civil Protection forces are in full mobilization. Crews from the South Aegean region and the municipality of Rhodes, as well as volunteer groups, are on standby to deal with any problems.

Rhodes was also hit with severe flooding in early December. Areas in the island were declared in a state of emergency by the Civil Protection Agency following severe flooding due to the Bora storm.
