The thunderbolts opened and caused floods on both roads and hotels.
According to hotelier Adamos Maouris, "It will take us a week to measure the wounds we have and slowly we will start repairing them."
The biggest damage was suffered by the coastal front of Protaras, which was inspected in the morning by the District of Famagusta and the Mayor of Paralimni.
The mayor of Paralimni, Theodoros Pyrillis, stated that: "As you can see, the biggest damage caused by the floods is on the beaches which have suffered irreparable damage and we expect the competent services to tell us exactly what to do."
The prefect of Famagusta, George Chrysafinis, stressed that: "There really seems to be a serious problem on the coastline, some immediate steps need to be taken to ensure that pedestrian traffic, the few that exist at the moment, does not present any problem."
The rain caused significant damage to the road network of Protaras and mainly to the area of Pernera.
The mayor of Paralimni pointed out that: "The damage that has been caused to the road is at the points that would have been removed anyway for the construction of the project and for the construction of the new culverts, so there is no damage to the public or to any other body."
The provincial administration has proceeded to count and record the damage to private property and a special report will be sent to the Ministry of Interior.
