Authorities said the worst damage was reported around Volos and in northern parts of the nearby island of Evia, an area vulnerable to flooding due to the impact of massive wildfires two years ago. Residents in Volos used mops and shovels to scoop mud out of their homes to try to protect their belongings. Among them were 83-year-old Apostolis Dafereras and his wife. Dafereras said they couldn’t spend the night in their ground-floor home as knee-high flood water gushed in. Earlier, he and other residents on his street tried to push mud and flood water out of his home. The storm — called Elias — caused extensive flooding in the central city of Volos and left hundreds stranded in nearby mountain villages. The fire service carried out multiple rescues and evacuations, authorities said. Rescuers were also searching a mountainous area for two people after a private helicopter flying in the bad weather went missing. Bad weather earlier this month struck the same area, killing 16 people, and causing more than 2 billion euros ($2.1 billion) in damage to farms and infrastructure. The European Union has promised Greece more than 2 billion euros in financial support to cope with the damage caused by summer wildfires and the ongoing floods, while Athens is renegotiating the terms of other aid packages to direct funds toward climate change adaptation AP Video by Lefteris Pitarakis =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
