The night became a “thriller” for firefighters since the overwhelming “Ianos” passage that has caused severe flooding in many parts of the country, with Karditsa turned into a lake, causing hundreds of cages.
Unfortunately, the worst was not avoided: a woman was taken dead from the Vassili settlement in Farsala and a family with a three-year-old boy trapped in Sofades. The house was in disarray with the furniture falling from the rushing water. The exact causes of death will be determined by the autopsy-necropsy, since the level does not seem to have been such as to have caused drowning and it is considered as a possibility that he has lost his life due to pathological causes caused by the very intense and dangerous moments with those that arrived. faced.
