The level of Litheo is rising without a problem so far – Problems in the road network of Trikala
There are quite a few problems that the bad weather has caused Elias to Trikala, Achaia and Ioannina.
The heavy rainfall caused problems in some districts of Trikala, such as in Patoulias and Kalambakas streets, with the streets turning into rivers again, while cars were stopped.
As the mayor of Trikkaia, Nikos Sakkas, told the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, “the amount of rain that fell in a short time was large in volume, but we responded immediately and effectively.” Mr. Sakkas added that today the city operates without any problems.
At this time, there is also a rise in the level of the Litheos river that crosses the city but without much concern. There is a lot of water coming mainly from the area of Hasia, but the good thing is that now the strong storm that hit the wider area for a long time yesterday has stopped.
