Greeks Swelter In The Heat

After days of record high temperatures that led to at least nine heatstroke deaths and extensive power outages, wildfires swept through Greece killing two people and destroying homes. Two men died trapped in flames after abandoning their truck on a forest fire outside the central Greek city of Larissa. A third man in the truck escaped unharmed. Temperatures remained below 104 in most parts of the country with a high of 105.8 in Athens. Emergency warnings remained in effect in most areas.
