Live the course of the bad weather
Earlier, 112 rang the residents of Volos and Magnesia pointing out the necessary restriction of movement, due to the phenomenon of bad weather Daniel which is in full swing. The residents of Thessaloniki also received a message from 112 after 9.30 in the morning, also asking the citizens to drastically limit their movements, facilitating the work of the Authorities.
Several streets in the city are flooded, while the ring road of Volos is also closed.
The problem is mainly aggravated in the center, where since the continuous storm the roads have turned into rivers and hundreds of cars have stopped on Lambraki, Dimitriados, Iasonos, Argonauts, Larissa and Athens avenues and the vertical roads are coming down from the mountains due to huge amounts of rainwater which cannot be absorbed by the sewage network.
Public and municipal services in Volos and Magnesia are closed today due to the severe weather and flooding. For this reason, the workers did not go to work.
Major problems have already been recorded on the Volos-Agria road where traffic has been stopped at the height of Paedopolis after the adjacent stream has flooded and tons of soil and transportable materials have been transported, as a result of which communication with coastal Pelion and the villages of Notio has been interrupted Pelion to be excluded.
In Milina, in southern Pelion, the seaside resort has been flooded throughout its area and at the same time there are electricity problems in the area.
