Two Dead in Greece Due to Severe Weather

Two tragedies occurred in Greece due to the severe weather. A 56-year-old woman lost her life in Ano Glyfada when she was swept away by floodwaters while trying to cross the road. The current dragged her under a car, resulting in fatal injuries. Eyewitnesses describe the force of the water and their inability to help. Meanwhile, a 53-year-old port officer, a flag lieutenant, lost his life in Astros Kynouria while on patrol at the port. A strong wave swept him away while mooring boats, causing a severe head injury. The port officer was taken to the Health Center, where his death was confirmed. Both deaths occurred during the severe weather that hit Greece. These tragedies highlight the dangers posed by severe weather and the need for increased caution and protective measures. Authorities had warned of the intense weather phenomena and called on citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and take necessary safety precautions. However, both men found themselves in dangerous conditions while performing their duties. The bad weather caused intense weather phenomena in many areas of Greece, including heavy rainfall and winds. Authorities are on alert to deal with the consequences of the bad weather and provide assistance to those affected. Prevention and early warning are vital to avoid similar tragedies in the future.
