heal.abstract	The current paper examines two intense flood-producing rainstorms that occurred in October 1994 and July 1995 and which caused severe damage and loss of life in the Greater Athens Greece area. The October 1994 flood event is one of the most serious observed among the extreme flood events of the last 30-40 years. The return period of the October storm was estimated to be 100 years. The July 1995 flood event was caused be a storm of convective type with a short duration and intensity extremely varying in space. The return period of the July storm was estimated to be 14-15 years.	en
