Storms swept through many parts of Greece and were hit by power outages and disconnected people evacuated urgently

According to the Greek "Sino-Greek Times", in recent days, the wave of bad weather has swept through most parts of Greece, and there have been power outages in many places. And due to the impact of heavy rainfall and strong winds, roads in many places are closed, and people's travel is restricted.

Severe weather has reportedly caused a huge disaster in Epirus, with the water levels of the Kalamas and Akron rivers rising. In order to prevent flooding from breaking the embankment, the Kalamas River opened its gates to release water. In contrast, the situation on the Akerong River is even more serious, and the residential areas near the Acheron River have entered a state of emergency alert.

According to epiruspost.gr, the Trovo junction of the Ionian Highway was closed due to flooding. However, due to the fact that in Ionia, bad weather did not cause serious effects, so the vehicle was still able to drive normally.

At noon on December 11, local time, due to the rise in the water level of Lake Lisimacia due to bad weather, the mayor of Agrignan, George Papanastasio, ordered the emergency evacuation of nearby residents. The mayor said the evacuation was only a precautionary measure and had not caused casualties or property damage at this time.

At the same time, the Tríkala regional troops dispatched 22 machines to deal with falling rocks and water on the roads caused by heavy rains and to escort vehicles through safe passage.

Cristos Miharakis, Deputy Governor of Trikala Region, said: "The river level is rising and we need to be vigilant at all times to avoid worse situations. At the same time, he advised the public not to go out unless necessary.

Due to the impact of bad weather, the coastline of the Rion area has moved up, flooding the surrounding roads, and many roads are currently closed.

The water level of the river in the Pinhos area has reportedly risen sharply, exceeding the safe water level. Local residents are concerned about this.

Due to the bad weather on Cove Island, there have been power outages in many areas of the city center, and the staff is urgently repairing it. At the same time, due to strong winds, the power supply network system in many places has also been damaged.

In the Evia region, the water level rises due to strong winds, and the sea floods the coastal roads, while strong winds blow stones and sand onto the roads. At present, the affected roads have been closed and the staff has urgently carried out road clearance work.

The city of Alesia and Lake Plastillas flooded, and mayor Andreas Sturgio said that the karditsa and Argethea districts were flooded, and landslides had occurred in the Marathon area, and the authorities were currently trying to find a way to deal with it.

Mayor Papaniodis Nanoos said landslides had occurred in parts of Lake Prastillas city as a result of heavy rainfall. But for now, the roads have been cleared. He said they would be on standby to monitor the rainfall in cooperation with relevant units. And he said the government will urge farmers and livestock farmers to comply with the regulations and do a good job of self-protection measures to ensure their safety.

Meanwhile, there was heavy snow in Samarina and Florina. (Tan Shu Yin)
