Macedonia storm: At least 20 die overnight in freak deluge










At least 20 people have died as storms caused Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, to flood.
Their bodies were found before 8:30 (06:30 GMT) on Sunday, an official said. Six people are still missing.
Some of the victims drowned in their cars. Parts of the city's ring road have been swept away in the floods, dragging cars into nearby fields.
Three-and-a-half inches (9.3cm) of rain fell in Skopje in the storm - more than the average for the whole of August.
