The 52-year-old man who was missing after flooding in the area between Lepenos and Stratos was found dead, at a distance of 6 kilometers from the quarry where he worked as a guard.

The 52-year-old was swept away by a torrent formed by rainwater and apparently failed to react.

The Fire Department, EMAK men and his relatives cooperated to find him.

The post of the 52-year-old tar manufacturing company employee, which was located next to the riverbed, was swept away, but it was not known if he was there at the time.

The devastating and deadly passage of bad weather “Kassandra” through the villages of Stratos and Rivio in Etoloakarnania caused serious problems and left behind a lot of damage to houses, businesses, crops and infrastructure.

In order to locate him, investigations were conducted by the Fire Service in the wider area of ​​Lepenous, in Etoloakarnania.

Six Fire Department vehicles with 14 men, a squad of the 6th EMAK and a team of unmanned aircraft systems participated in the investigations.

According to agrinionews.gr, heavy rains hit mainly the area north of the Prefecture, with the damage being particularly evident in villages such as Rivio, Baby, Malesiada, Amorgians, Petronas, Boredom and the wider area. At Riviothe setting is dramatic. The huge volume of water that came down from Mt You are pedaling swept away homes and crops, with olive trees uprooted just days before they were to be harvested, dealing a financial blow to local farmers. The landscape looks “bombed”.

Machines from the municipalities and the Region are constantly trying to remove the transported materials, while the Fire Department has received four calls for pumping out water.
