Bad weather Elias: heavy rain in Attica – rapid deterioration from today

Bad Weather Elias arrived in Attica with heavy rain and intense lightning. A message from 112 was sent out on Tuesday night to avoid unnecessary movement today as the storms continue.

The first problems have already been identified in Markopoulos and Marousi, where the fire department had to intervene to drain the water. At the same time, authorities have been alerted in much of the country to prevent flooding.

The biggest concern is Thessaly and the affected areas are still measuring their injuries. In the “red areas” zone, Phithiotida, Eurydania, Boeotia, Phocis, Sporades and Evia are expected to receive the highest amount of rain.

Due to unfavorable forecasts in the region of Central Greece and in the municipality of Lamia, preparations were made for the early evacuation of some residents from the village of Komma, especially at night from the houses closest to Sperchio.

Schools in the municipalities of Lamia, Makrakomi, Tomokos and Stylita were closed on Tuesday and will remain closed on Wednesday as a precaution.

Longtime Palamas residents are also wary. The local community leader of Palama, Mr. Dimitris Sigartas, speaking to APE, said that if a settlement needs to be evacuated due to severe flooding, as many residents as possible should be accommodated in the highest buildings and the rest should leave. Their homes are in predetermined positions that exist in every society.

Schools in the municipalities of Lamia, Makrakomi, Tomokos and Stylita were closed on Tuesday and will remain closed on Wednesday as a precaution. Courses will be conducted through distance education as per the relevant notifications of the Directorates of Education.
