Eight people have died as Storm Daniel sent fierce flooding surging across southeast Europe – including two holidaymakers who were swept away by a torrent that raged through a campsite.

A “scared” British family on the Greek island have been told they cannot leave their hotel after the resort was hit by torrential rain.

Emma Taylor told Sky News the situation was “literally off the scale” – and “it’s just been biblical”.

“We’ve been to many places in the world and we’ve never experienced a storm like this,” she said.

Authorities have banned traffic on the island, as well as on the mainland in the city of Volos and the nearby mountain region of Pilion.
