The mayor of Volos said the city has been ‘turned into a lake’.
A second powerful storm in less than a month has hammered parts of central Greece, sweeping away roads, smashing bridges and flooding thousands of homes.
Bad weather earlier this month struck the same area, killing 16 people, and causing more than two billion euro in damage to farms and infrastructure. Residents in Volos used plastic buckets to scoop mud out of their homes to try to protect their belongings. Among them was 83-year-old Apostolis Dafereras, who has lived in a suburb of the city since 1955.
