The Krausidonas river overflowed again in the city of Volos, due to the new downpour that – since the morning – is sweeping the capital of Magnesia.

The river exceeded its limits from the height of the bridge in Yannis Dimos and the waters flood roads, houses and businesses from the area of ​​Chiliados and continues to its mouth.

Already, on the coastal streets of Zachos and Karabatzakis they have swept away dozens of cars and the waters extend towards the districts of Kifissia in Paraskevopoulos, throughout Chiliadou, Agios Panteleimonas, Papadiamantis, Palaia, Agioi Anargyrou and all the bridges of the river have been closed.

Car traffic has stopped in all areas and the connection of the center of Volos with Nea Ionia.

At the same time, anxiety peaks, as the hours and days pass, for the people who are missing in Volos and Pelion and have not given any signs of life, while the bad weather persists with rapid rains – from the morning and during the night – resulting in the worsening of the problems both in Volos and in Pelion which have literally suffered incalculable disasters.

Among the two dead in Magnesia, there are also 4 missing. among which, a couple of 35-year-old Austrianswhose fate is unknown, when the house they were visiting in Potistika of South Pelion was swept away by the torrents, while they themselves were inside it.

Volos is without water supply and drinking water for a third day and the authorities are struggling to breathe life into a city that is trying to return to a rudimentary level of normality, after the disasters caused by the unforeseeable bad weather, while electricity is gradually being restored throughout the urban complex.

The Municipality of Volos with crews distributes thousands of bottles of drinking water to the citizens with organized distribution in various parts of the city, while the mayor Achilleas Beos complained that some are selling water at high prices characterizing them as mavragorites.

With a message of 112 at 09:37 a further extension of the curfew has been ordered across the metropolitan area of ​​Volos as efforts are made to open roads covered by mountains of mud and debris and to clear wells and sewers that could not withstand the huge volumes of water that fell into the area and brought down by the torrents from Pelion.

Volos Urban Transport was again unable to operate, since the roads are impassable and dozens of buses have sunk in the mud and remain blocked. The city is still without taxis, intercity transport and trains.

The Volos market remains almost entirely closed, while it became known that all businesses that manage to operate will have to close at 6 pm for precautionary reasons.

All infrastructure in the city of Volos and its suburbs, such as the port and road arteries leading out of the city, have suffered major damages.

Damage has also been caused to archaeological sites of enormous value and importance, such as the Neolithic excavations at Dimini and the Ancient Theater, while the Archaeological Museum of Volos and the Tsalapata Museum-Complex were affected by incalculable damages, after being covered by tons of mud.

The disasters in the road network are biblical, since one cannot move towards South Pelion where a bridge fell in Bufa or the roads have been closed by landslides in hundreds of places or have been destroyed and lost in the sea by the fury of the gods.

Chaos reigns in Milina, Horto, Kala Nera, Platanias, Afissos, Ano and Kato Lechonia in the direction to South Pelion where roads, houses and cars have been lost and communication and land approach are impossible.

Similar images exist in Eastern Pelion with the worst affected areas being Agios Ioannis, Papa Nero and Horefto, as well as in Tsagarada.

Makrynitsa has also suffered major disasters where large amounts of water washed away houses and cars from the parking lot in Brani.

There is already a government echelon in the area, under Deputy Minister Christos Triandopoulos, who is coordinating the efforts to restore normalcy in the area, while they are assisting forces from all over Greece that have been transferred from Serres, Kilkis, Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Patras and with them hundreds of volunteer groups such as from Messinia and Epirus.

160 fire engines, 400 firefighters and 5 fire engines from various regions of Greece operate in Magnesia.

Dozens of television crews from Germany, Austria, Italy, Britain and other countries are also in Volos and Magnesia and are recording images of the chaos caused in the area.
