We’ve been watching insane rain over Spain in recent days, now it looks like it’s Greece’s turn, as part of the same system – and the model runs on this are horrific, if they play out.
Torrential rains have flooded homes and roads in Greece and a man died after a wall collapsed in the bad weather, the fire brigade said on Tuesday.
Storm Daniel has battered western and central Greece since Monday, prompting hundreds of calls to emergency services to pump out water just days after a deadly wildfire which has burned for more than two weeks was brought under control in the north of the country.
“The man died after a wall collapsed near Volos city, probably due to bad weather,” a fire brigade official told Reuters, without providing more details.
According to the Athens News Agency, the wall collapsed when the man, a cattle breeder, was trying to reach his animals.
Footage from state broadcaster ERT showed cars in Volos, a port city on the Pagasetic Gulf, washed away by torrential rain onto muddy shores.
At least with places like the Houston area the land is pretty flat and the water spreads out, but Greece is mostly hilly and they have a lot of burn scar.
