As the hours pass, more and more damage is recorded in the villages of Paramythia that were hit by a tornado on Thursday night.

Uprooted trees, cut pillars of PPC and OTE, scattered tiles, solar water heaters, tanks, ventilation machines, antennas and people in despair, are the images of the villages in the light of day.

The Municipality crews record the damage, while the residents try to help each other.

So far 40 houses in the villages of Agora and Skandalo have been seriously damaged.

It’s a miracle we don’t mourn victims, say shocked residents, as everyone was at home due to the bad weather.

Such was the force of the wind that it carried tens of meters away very heavy objects, such as a cheese factory tank in the village of Skandalo.

The area has been experiencing electricity and telecommunication problems since last night.

Stable installations collapsed in Potamia, 2 high-voltage PPC and 4 OTE poles fell.

The mayor of Souli, Yiannis Karagiannis, who has been in the villages since the night, will request, as he told APE-MBE, that the affected areas be declared a state of emergency.
