ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Residents on the western fringes of the Greek capital struggled Thursday to clean up the devastation from flash floods that swept through their neighborhoods a day earlier, while the death toll rose as rescue crews searching for missing people recovered another body. The number of deaths from Wednesday's flooding increased to 16 after firefighters found the body of a man in the swamped basement of a home in the Nea Peramos district west of Athens. Search and rescue operations were continuing Thursday for four more people reported missing since the floods turned roads into violent torrents of mud and debris.
