Roads are turned into torrents of mud and debris, homes and businesses are deluged and bad weather is forecast to continue 
  
 Flash floods on the outskirts of Athens have killed at least 15 people, injured dozens more and caused “biblical damage”, with authorities ordering flags to fly at half-mast on Thursday after downpours turned roads into torrents of mud and debris. 
  
 “Cars are stuck in mud in hills where it is raining hard, homes have been flooded and people are missing,” said Nikos Toskas, the minister for public order and citizen protection. “The death toll may rise,” he told the Guardian. “The bad weather is forecast to continue until the weekend.” 
  
 Toskas, who toured several of the affected areas on Wednesday, described scenes of catastrophe. A section of the highway between Athens and Corinth had caved in, businesses had been inundated and power lines had gone down as the floods hit. “They’ve affected a very large region in some of the poorest parts of Athens,” Toskas said.

 The flooding followed heavy rain overnight. As roads turned into rivers of mud, cars were carried away and tossed into piles,and walls from yards and small buildings collapsed. Deluged with debris and rubble, some streets became impassable. 
  
 Twelve of the people killed – four women and eight men – were found in or near Mandra, a small town on the western outskirts of Athens that was hardest hit by the flood. The bodies of two more men were recovered from the sea. It was thought likely both had been swept into the bay at Eleusina, 11 miles from Athens’ city centre. 
  
 The state-run TV channel ERT reported that all the victims were between 45 and 70 years old. Among the dead were a hunter and a truck driver found in the cabin of his vehicle.

 Authorities said at least 10 people had been taken to hospital with hypothermia, and call centres were overwhelmed with appeals for help. Many of the calls were from people trapped in cars, trucks and buses. Firefighters registered around 340 calls for help to pump water from flooded buildings. 
  
 “What we are seeing is unprecedented,” said Ioannis Vasilliou, vice-prefect of western Attica. “Huge amounts of water are raging through [the streets of] Mandra … we have to stop the gush [of water].” 
  
 Speculation was rife on Wednesday that illegal construction over streams and riverbeds had contributed to the ferocity of the torrents.

 Schools in the suburbs of Mandra, Nea Peramos and Megara were closed as authorities called a state of emergency and the fire department appealed to the public to avoid travelling to the area unless necessary. “Everything is lost. The disaster is biblical,” the mayor of Mandra Yianna Krikouki told state-run TV. 
  
 Further storms are predicted to hit parts of the Greek capital and western Greece in the coming days.

 MANDRA, Greece (AP) — Greece declared a day of national mourning after floods on the outskirts of Athens left at least 14 dead Wednesday, flipping over cars, smashing into homes and cutting off highway traffic. 
  
 The flash floods turned roads into raging torrents of mud and debris inundated houses and businesses. Drivers scrambled out of their vehicles as cars were washed away. Rescue crews searched basement homes for residents who may have been trapped. 
  
 More torrential rain is expected Thursday. 
  
 "This is a very difficult moment for our country. We mourn the deaths of 14 people in what is a great disaster. ... It is the wish of all of us that this number does not increase," Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a televised address, announcing a day of national mourning Thursday. 
  
 Twelve of the people killed — four women and eight men — were found in or near Mandra, a small town on the western outskirts of Athens that was hardest-hit by the flood. The coast guard recovered the bodies of two more men believed to have been swept out to sea by the flood. 
  
 Floodwater carrying debris charged toward the coast, sinking fishing boats in a small harbor. Several people were being treated in a hospital for various injuries, including hypothermia. 
  
 There were fears the death toll could rise further as rescue crews searched flooded homes and streets on the western outskirts of Athens. 
  
 The flooding came after a severe overnight storm brought driving rain to the area. Roads turned into muddy rivers that carried away vehicles, tossing them into piles on roadsides and against fences and buildings. Several walls from yards and low buildings collapsed, filling the streets with rubble. 
  
 The fire department said it had received more than 600 calls for help pumping water out of buildings and had rescued 86 people trapped in vehicles and homes. It said it had deployed 190 firefighters with 55 vehicles. All fire services across the wider Athens area had been put on alert as more bad weather was forecast. 
  
 A section of the highway between Athens and Corinth was completely knocked out, with cars, trucks and buses trapped in an inundated underpass. 
  
 Judicial authorities ordered an immediate investigation into the deaths and material damage. Investigators would be looking into whether factors such as shoddy or illegal construction might have contributed to the severity of the flooding. 
  
 Local authorities shut schools in the areas of Mandra, Nea Peramos and Megara, while the fire department appealed to the public to avoid the area unless absolutely necessary in an effort to reduce traffic. 
  
 More hazardous weather was predicted for large swaths of Greece later Wednesday and in coming days, with storms predicted for western Greece and for parts of the Greek capital. 
  
 The deaths came a day after authorities declared a state of emergency on the small Aegean Sea island of Symi due to torrential rainfall there that flooded homes and shops, swept vehicles into the sea and cut power after the local power station was flooded.
