The fire department said another four people were reported missing by their families, and crews were searching for them.
All five fatalities -- two women and three men -- occurred in the Mandra area in separate incidents. The bodies of a woman and a man were initially found in their flooded homes, while later another two men and one woman were found dead, two in the yards of local businesses and one near a road.
Firefighters received at least 340 calls for help to pump water from flooded buildings and rescue people trapped by the rising waters.
Crews also rescued passengers from a bus stranded by the floodwaters on a highway.
