“Landing” in Crete He did Janus And it is already creating problems on the island, after the huge disasters it caused in the Ionian Islands, Thessaly and Central Greece.
Janos first arrived in Crete with rains from the west and specifically Chania, while later thunderstorms and lightning appeared in Heraklion prefecture. The authorities have closed all so-called “Irish bridges” in Katsamba. The river has already overflowed in the area and the crossing is dangerous.
Prolonged power outages
Bad weather caused problems in the electricity supply in many areas of Heraklion and mainly in the interior of the prefecture, where there have been prolonged power outages in the wider area of the municipalities of Archanes – Asterousia and Minoa Pediada.
Power outages and frequent power outages also occurred in the city of Heraklion, and HEDNO teams struggled to repair the damage.
The climate in Crete changed abruptly with the passage of “Ianos”. The morning sun was followed by cloudy noon, while a few minutes in the afternoon, the scene was reminiscent of a tropical storm.
The main characteristic was the heavy rains, thunder and lightning that turned night into day. The intense phenomenon lasted just over an hour in Heraklion but it turned out to be enough to turn into a lake, central parts of the city.
Flooding was identified in areas such as Giofyros and Mesabelies, while there were areas that sank into darkness due to power outages.
But also in Chania prefecture and specifically in Paleochora, 71 mm of rain had already been recorded.
Both the Civil Protection of the Crete Region and the Fire Brigade are on alert to face possible problems that will require their intervention.
The Square of the Lions, according to cretapost, has become Venice. Characteristic is the video in which it seems that the Plaza de los Leones was flooded after the storm.
The only ones in the place were the merchants who were active in the place and used brooms to keep the water away. At the same time, the roads turned into rivers with cars moving very carefully.
Flight problems
There were also problems with the flights, as a total of 7 who were scheduled to land at Heraklion airport, were forced to go to other airports, due to the prevailing weather conditions. In particular, two flights landed in Rhodes, two more in Chania and three in Athens.
