The onslaught of bad weather “Medea” may have made us see a “white day” and have dressed many areas of Greece in white, but in Attica and specifically in the northern suburbs it brought many problems.
Interruptions in the supply of electricity and water have been and continue to be difficult for many households that have more than two 24 hours without the basics, that is, electricity and water.
One such person was the well-known actor and writer Costas Krommidas, who lives with his wife and the children’s story writer Marina Giotis and their daughter, in the northern suburbs.
Mr. Krommidas spoke about the serious difficulties they faced due to bad weather. His house was without electricity for two days, and one day without water, and his only source of heating was the fireplace.
It is noted that the statements were made before the electricity supply returned to his home.
“We have been without electricity for two days. Today, just so you understand, we made food in the fireplace and baked coffee on the coals. Many years ago. Not bad, but I think the romance is slowly passing. We want to return to our initial situation, ”he said speaking on the website znews.gr.
“We have had a power outage since the day before yesterday and for a day we had no water. We are on the border of Nea Erithraia and Ekali. We adapt to the situation, but the only heating we had and still have is the fireplace. Fortunately, I had provided and we had firewood, so we did not lose the heat and we could make food. I am used to them and had stored water in buckets and some candles and lanterns to have light at home. However, the situation is very difficult, but we will handle it, ”he added.
The practical problems
Regarding the practical problems that arose, Mr. Krommidas revealed that due to lack of light the refrigerators in the house did not work: “The problem was the refrigerator that we had to remove all the food and bury it in the snow so that it would not spoil”.
But also her daughter’s inability to attend her school’s online lessons: “For two days without power, our daughter couldn’t even attend her school’s online lessons. “Imagine getting in the car and charging our cell phones.”
The well-known author, however, did not stop at the case of his family and said: “But there are families and people who suffer from this situation. There are people with health problems who may not have foreseen how things would be. I was talking to a friend who did not have a fireplace or any other source of heating in the house and they are freezing.
Particularly upset, he said there is no information on when the power outage will be repaired after bad weather: “We have no information. We don’t know when the power will come or when the damage will be repaired. They were not well prepared. The snow that fell was unprecedented. for Attica data, but the situation escaped and being without power for so many days πολλά It created a lot of problems. Not the fault of the pines, they hadn’t cleaned anything. “In the northern suburbs, many homes have no electricity and the situation is particularly difficult. “
His wife’s position
Finally, his wife Marina Giotis in a post on social networks revealed that these days she appreciated the obvious: “Early Wednesday morning. We are two days without electricity or water. We realized how much of our daily life depends on these two basic goods. It is not easy, especially if you have to care for elderly or sick people. Our thoughts are on all those who work and fight day and night now to open roads, cut down trees, repair power lines, to reach those in need … »
A short time later, in the comments of the post, he reported that the electricity ran out, after two days.
