Floods in Northern Greece
The torrential rain in northern Greece has caused floods, landslides and damage in cultivations.
Strong storms and winds hit Thessaloniki, Halkidiki and Pieria last night. As a result, a camping in Leptokaria, Pieria hosting children with special needs was evacuated for precautionary reasons. In parallel, the Fire Brigade in Thessaloniki has received 35 calls from civilians to pump water out of their homes and basements.
The landslides recorded on the Thessaloniki - Nea Moudania highway did not create any traffic problems, while “Macedonia” Airport closed due to zero visibility caused by thick fog. In parallel, 10 flights had to be diverted to Athens and Kavala.
