“There is destruction” – Greeks describe to SKAI the nightmare from the “hit” of Hurricane Ian

The nightmarish moments they lived through during his invasion hurricane ian described to Greeks living in its area Florida.

Eva Topalidis, a resident of Tampa, recorded frame by frame the passage of the hurricane through the area.

Before the devastating yet devastating hit of the typhoon, the area where her parents lived was evacuated and they went to her house to be safe. A bit later Traffic was also banned in Tampa. As he told SKAI earlier, he tried like everyone else to take all the measures he could:

“We all got ready – we went super – we got everything we could from pharmacies – medicine for the grandparents, to take the pills and everything everyone needs to be prepared, because they say that we will lose power soon. We don’t know about water, so we filled tubs to have water for the toilet if needed.”

Preparations were feverish – the luckiest were able to procure sandbags and build barriers at the entrances of houses. “Unfortunately, we didn’t make it and the queues to fill the sandbags were forget it. Waited 3-4 hours, a bit difficult,” she said.

“Here you get a taste of what a hurricane means. It’s 12 o’clock at night and it’s getting messy. The previous 2 nights were tragic. The sea had entered houses from the north side of the island,” says the journalist while he is in his car on the streets of Miami Philip Kelaris.

Even there, however, the residents were prepared for the worst: “We had gone to the supermarket – you have to prepare – we had taken our batteries in case the power went down – we also have generators.”

It is noted that the figures so far speak of approximately 2.5 million people who have been left without electricity in the greater Florida area.
