Homes, roads and crops were left under water around Thessaly&#8217;s main city, Larissa, as river Pinios and its tributaries breached their banks up to Trikala westwards. 16 people died as a consequence of the storm, that also killed two in Turkey and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A blow to the Greek farming sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is estimated that a total of 700 sq. km were covered in water in Thessaly, a catastrophic development for the region&#8217;s economy. Dubbed the breadbasket of Greece, Thessaly is home to various farm productions: corn, cotton, tobacco, orchards, most of which were devastated by the floodings shortly before harvests. Tens of thousands of livestock were also killed. Only a third of the production can be salvaged, but this does not mean that farmers will be able to sell it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greek transport severely hit by flood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Storm Daniel and the consecutive flooding of the area indeed caused extensive damage to the transport network too. This includes portions of the Athens-Thessaloniki motorway, a major corridor, as well local roads and bridges. A 50-km railway section carrying goods and passengers between southern and northern Greece was also destroyed. According to the government, the cost of the disaster will amount to billions of euros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy rains brought by storm Daniel caused record floodings in Central Greece on September 7 2023.
