Prolonged, persistent rainfall has led to big problems for southern Europe, where flooding has forced people from their homes and caused several creeks to overflow.

The flash floods hit parts of northwestern Greece and southern Albania hardest, forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate, according to The Associated Press. Rivers raged in the area, and near the town of Arta, the famous stone Plaka Bridge built in the 18th century, collapsed into the river below it, the report added.
