Looks like Zakynthos bore the brunt of it this time:
Tornado sweeps through Zakynthos
The Ionian island of Zakynthos was struck by a tornado Tuesday morning, the fourth in a few weeks, uprooting trees, destroying rooftops and causing power cuts.
According to local reports, the tornado swept mainly through the areas of Lagana, Tsilivi and Vanatou shortly after 8 a.m.
No injuries have, so far, been reported.

Think the thunderstorms may have passed (for now) but very heavy rainfall possible tonight and tomorrow.
With thunderstorms around it may not be a bad time to buy a (good) surge protector for your PC, one with protection for your phone line, etc, as well. May not protect you from a direct lightning strike but better to have some protection than none. Various makes/models available, a little research probably in order - bear in mind even a 'good' one will probably need to be replaced every few years.

Civil protection authorities on Thursday ordered all schools to remain closed on Friday the Ionian islands of Zakynthos, Cephalonia and Ithaca, as well as in the town of Larissa, after meteorologists warned of more torrential rains and storms to come.
The decision comes a day after a weather system called Eurydice caused flash floods in western Attica that claimed at least 15 lives and caused widespread destruction.
Meteorologists are concerned that Eurydice may not have done its worst yet, as it is forecast to remain in the country through the weekend and may coincide with a Mediterranean hurricane called Xenon that appears to be on its way to Greece.

Greece will be hit by a storm front between Friday night and Sunday, according to the Hellenic Meteorological Service (EMY).

It doesn't look too good at the moment looking at the cameras. Very windy and looks as if it could pour down. Not much different to here then apart from the temperature !!
-
I recorded 19 mms rain Friday/Saturday night, with a bit more to come Saturday night. Otherwise expected to be cloudy with full sun on Monday. IMHO it is seldom as bad as the forecasters say, so that they don't get so many complaints. First rain for 12 days, so I am not complaining!

UK weather: Britain to be 'hotter than Greece' as temperatures soar to 25C bringing week-long sizzle
And while Brits could be heading outdoors to enjoy the bright weather, holiday makers in Kefalonia, Greece, are looking at temperatures of around 20C - five below those forecast in the UK.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/uk-weather-britain-hotter-greece-12336025
Hm, maybe. It does seem that Kef weather can be a bit dull when it's warm and sunny in the UK but, of course, decent weather in the UK rarely lasts long.
-
The weather is set to improve even more on Saturday with temperatures reaching 22C on Sunday, one degree warmer than Kefalonia in Greece.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6018855/uk-weather-forecast-latest-temperatures-next-week-flooding/
And temperatures could be even warmer in northern parts of Wales, with the mercury reaching at least 20°C - compared to 18°C in Kefalonia in Greece.
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/weather-forecast-wales-shows-temperatures-14514108
Kefalonia seems to be the place to compare weather with, even if the forecasters can't agree how warm it'll be on Kef.
-
The Express get in on the act, albeit in Fahrenheit:
An early taste of summer will see thermometers reach 72F (22C) as householders turn off the heating at last. That would be hotter than the 70F expected in Greek holiday island destination Kefalonia.

Parts of the south east could hit 22C – bringing heat on a par with the western Greek island of Kefalonia – though further west it will be cloudier and breezier, with patches of rain at times.

Oh dear Daily Fail - you shouldn't have chosen Kef's hottest day so far this year. 27 in the night and this morning knocking on the door of 30. Very cloudy / breezy without much sun though.

Now I know what a hurricane feels like, if only for 5 minutes. Must have been a whirlwind ahead of the storm. Debris everywhere, the clear up starts.

All very exciting!
Running round the garden in the dark, the rain, and the wind - chasing an errant li-lo
The wind flipped sunbeds, and sent umbrellas soaring
Then just as a well deserved mug of tea due - Ping - power down
The joys of an Autumn holiday on Kef
Would have it no other way - love it!
-
Scary as that was, from what I've heard we got off lightly! Agia Efimia covered in mud again, damage to houses in Nifi, parked cars damaged by a fallen tree in Karavados... schools across the island closed today. Latest forecast I've seen, a day or two with a bit of sun and then more thunderstorms likely... :iroll:
-
Quite nice here this morning Mike!!!LOL Think we are in for another load of rain again later on. :hi:This week has been mostly WET!!!and several places flooded so enjoy Kefalonia in the rain at least its warm rain.

Somehow I seemed to have deleted Maik's latest weather warning, saying that Kefalonia may escape a storm and only have rain.
Sometimes they get their timing wrong. The weather on Sunday morning is currently sunny. Looking at the storms currently over Italy on the lightning site, I would estimate they will reach Kefalonia Sunday night.

Undeleted (above)! I sometimes wonder if they don't regard Corfu as the main island, even though it's a fair trek away from Levkas, Kef and Zakynthos, and give us all Corfu's forecast.

No ferry service to Cephalonia and Zakynthos due to strong winds
The ferries carrying out the routes Poros-Kyllini, and Sami-Patras remain docked at the ports of Cephalonia due to the gale force winds blowing in the Ionian Sea.
Currently, strong winds up to 9 on the Beaufort scale are blowing in the Ionian Sea.

Slight (!) contradiction there, I figure the warning is for very high temperatures - although Kef is likely to be, as Roger said, around 28C on Friday, rising to a tad over 30C over the weekend - but likely to be some clouds hanging around.
-
Meteo.gr still showing high...e.g. 40 on Sunday...clearly that will come down as we get closer?
https://www.meteo.gr/cf-en.cfm?city_id=9
-
Now showing 38C on Sunday.
-
I saw...if it keeps falling at that rate I'm going to need the de-icer!
-
Now showing 38C on Sunday.
I suggest some caution in this prediction. Other forecasts do not exceed 30c in the coming days. Time will tell!
-
HiFi's link now showing 37C. As HiFi says, will probably come down as Sunday approaches. Forecast on GGi still showing 31C for Sunday. That's for Kefalonia, rest of Greece may be a lot hotter.

Saying down to 37 now...getting my jumper...........

That forecast amended to 35 in the end. Look forward to Roger's numbers as his recording always seems to be accurate.........
-
Despite the variation in forecasts, my peak shade temperature today (Sunday) reached 36c! The highest daily temperature for May was previously 35c way back in 2006.
-
A mate on Kef today described it as 'Holy shit balls it is hot'. I guess it was a tad warm for her.
-
Going to be a tad warm for the next two days, EMY have issued a weather warning, "Locally very high temperatures are expected", via meteoalarm.eu (http://meteoalarm.eu/en_UK/0/0/GR010-Greece.html)
Rest of week forecast to be low to mid twenties :) possible thunderstorm Thursday :(

Weekend heatwave breaks 160-year record in Greece
Temperatures in Greece’s capital over the weekend were the highest on record for mid-May, according to the National Observatory of Athens, rising to nearly 37°C on both days near the Thission electric train area.
The thermometers showed that May 16 and 17 registered the highest temperatures since it began tracking temperatures in Athens in 1860.

I don't want to go through a night like that again. I stayed on the boat until 3am, but was scared for my safety. Once off the boat I tried to stop it hitting the concrete quay for the next hour. It was completely wild with big waves in the harbour, not to mention the gale force wind and rain. I finally retreated to the car and checked the boat was still there every hour. Finally at first light, it had calmed down enough to go home.

You did well Roger, quite a few yachts sunk at Agia Efimia, lots of piccys on Kefalonia pulse.

Flights rerouted as Greece braces for rare 'medicane' storm
At least two flights were rerouted in Greece early Friday as the country braced for a hurricane-like storm lashing the Ionian Sea.
Two Ryanair flights to the Ionian island of Cephalonia were unable to land at the local airport and were rerouted to Athens.
The Mediterranean hurricane, or "medicane", was packing violent winds of over 100 kilometres (62 miles) per hour, according to the Greek civil protection agency.
Local residents have reported power outages, damage to roofs and falling trees.
A sailing boat moored off the island of Ithaki was carried away by waves but its two passengers managed to make it to shore, state news agency ANA said.
The civil protection agency has urged those in the storm's path to refrain from non-essential travel and avoid basements.
The civil protection agency on Thursday said it had relocated rescue teams with tracked vehicles to high-risk areas. Three rescue helicopters are also on standby.

Glad the boat's OK, Roger - those in the Ag Ef pic expat's posted look a bit worse for it. Next task, when it calms down.... Katelios cat count. Hopefully all present and correct.

Various roads closed by falling trees, etc. Official advice to stay at home still applies. Some piccies of Argostoli on nationalherald.com (https://www.thenationalherald.com/archive_general_news_greece/arthro/tropical_like_storm_batters_greek_islands_cause_outages_photos-868325/)

Devastation in Agia Efimia - photo from ekathimerini.com
Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (DEDDIE) crews labored in dire conditions to repair power networks damaged on Cephalonia, Zakynthos and Ithaca. DEDDIE has issued a warning to the public not to touch cables or other elements of the power network on the ground, which may be live.

I wrote the above post as the eye was passing. Then the wind came from another direction with gusts of F12 (hurricane). Unfortunately while I was away from the harbour, my boat broke free and came to rest on a fishing boat. This caused damage to stanchions, pushpit and rudder box. Could have been a lot worse and there was plenty of help around. Work for the winter.

Sorry to hear about your boat Roger but glad nobody was injured on the island, hoping the cats are ok too.
It's been a bad enough year already for taverna & business owners and workers without this as well, should have been coming to Katelios on Monday for a few weeks of cat feeding :) but unfortunately not this year.

So sorry to hear about your boat. Keep safe.

Is that Ostria (as was)? B*ggered their trade! But they don't mess around, that tree is probably chopped into logs for the fire by now.
Sorry to hear about the boat... just by the way, Sheila OK?

Drapano (aka de Bosset) Bridge damaged, not sure if structurally but certainly cosmetically. The road between Assos and Myrtos has gone.

If you haven't seen them already there's pics on the 'net from Assos, cars buried upto their roofs and severe erosion under at least one property. Several roads in the Assos - Agia Efimia area suffered severe erosion damage. Trees down everywhere.
Edit: Nikos Hardalias, Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, is due to fly into Kef to assess the damage. No more news as yet.
-
Roads closed due to damage, to be re-opened after repair:
Sami-Poros road at Pyrgi;
Divarata-Angona-Argostoli road at 'Signori' near Angona;
Argostoli-Dilinata road from the Drapano chruch to Dilinata.
Diversions in place but beware dangers on the roads generally, essential traffic movement only advised.
-
I have friends that live in Assos and had a limited conversation with them (they don't want to use their phones too much as no electric supply to re-charge them) and it is the worst they have ever seen it. Water and stones running straight through houses. Food and fresh water expected to be delivered later today or early tomorrow morning.

Sheila is in the UK for a few weeks, so missed all the excitement.

I believe that the island should have been declared a disaster zone, as had been suggested.
As an aside to this disaster, the swallows and swifts have taken a battering. There are thousands of bodies everywhere, even floating in the harbour. The ones that have survived are trying to keep warm and saving energy by roosting on the ground. The roads are warmest and then they are getting run over.
-
A couple of videos posted on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuxl-fhZF9w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdO0vvZbszk
Looking at the devastation around the island it looks like a disaster zone. And at present it's looking like more thunderstorms to come: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday - but just the usual thunderstorms. Forecast may improve as the days approach.
-
I known the man in the second video. His name is Christos and he and his family own the Platanos Restaurant in the Assos square. Very sad to see such destruction to a place that I know and love. Hopefully, Assos will be rebuilt to its former glory.

I just couldnt believe the news. We flew out of Kef on Saturday 12th September after the most wonderful 2 weeks we have enjoyed on the island in all our 15 years of coming. I havent seen any photographs of the damage in Skala and I hope all our friends are safe and well. The taverna shown in the pictures of Katelios is now called Marias and we enjoyed a super meal there one evening, the trees are huge old euclyptus specimens. After all the trials of covid 19 mother nature throws this at the island, she can be a cruel old lady! We know the people of Kefalonia are a resilient lot and will fight to restore the island to all it's wonderful glory. Our thoughts are with you all and we will be back in 2021.

Storms bring more heavy rain, high winds to Ionian islands
Just a few days after Cyclone Ianos wreaked havoc on several Ionian islands and in central Greece, stormy weather battered other islands in the Ionian Sea on Wednesday, provoking more flooding.
On Corfu, the fire service received numerous calls to pump out flooded homes and stores while similar incidents were reported on Paxos.
The General Secretariat for Civil Protection appealed to islanders to avoid unnecessary travel while the bad weather continues.

Western Greece to come under fresh storm pressure
The islands of the Ionian and the western mainland should brace for more storms starting on Friday night and persisting through Saturday, the national weather service, EMY, said, warning of strong downpours and winds reaching speeds of 8 on the Beaufort scale.
EMY said that the new wet front will sweep in from the southwest, hitting the Ionian islands – which have been battered by cyclone Ianos and storms in recent days – and Epirus on Friday night.
The Civil Protection Agency issued an advisory, meanwhile, warning residents and visitors in those parts of the country affected by storms not to venture outside without good reason or engage in unnecessary outdoor or marine activities.

Cold snap ahead, starting Saturday night when the temperature falls into single figures. Sunday and Monday nights will be very cold with temperatures just above freezing and temperatures will stay in single figures, day and night, until Sunday, 21/02/21.
May be an idea to make sure outside mains pipes are lagged. Snow is quite possible so maybe put food out for the wild birds and food and shelter for larger wildlife, e.g. strays.

“Medicane” Cyclone to Hit Greece Over the Weekend
Meteorologists in Greece and Italy are predicting a Mediterranean cyclone to hit both countries this weekend. Some have already called it a “Medicane,” a word that comes by combining the words Mediterranean and hurricane.
According to Greek meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis, heavy rain and severe thunderstorms are expected in Greece over this weekend.
The areas that will receive the highest amounts of rainfall are the southern Ionian islands...
Meteorologists point out, however, that the exact course of a Medicane cyclone is very difficult to predict. Its formation mechanics in a relatively small area, disproportionate to the area’s predictive models, make the Medicane quite unpredictable.
Additionally, the weather patterns in the Mediterranean sea can change very quickly, both in time and in space.

Forecast for Kef currently looking fairly stable but there's time for that to change.
