Receding floodwaters have revealed a trail of devastation in central Greece left by a rainstorm that raged for three days, killing at least six people and causing billions of euros worth of damage.
Hundreds of people remained trapped on Friday in their homes or on high ground in the central plain of Thessaly, which bore the brunt of Storm Daniel's relentless deluge.
"I don't think we have realised the magnitude of this disaster yet," Professor Efthymios Lekkas, a disaster management expert, told state broadcaster ERT on Friday. Speaking to ERT, Thessaly governor Kostas Agorastos said he estimated the storm caused around three times the 700 million euros inflicted by extensive floods in 2020.
In the village of Vlochos near the city of Karditsa, about 150 people had been waiting for help for three days.
