The heavy rain that has been hitting the Attica basin since 6.30 in the morning has caused problems. So far, the fire department has received 125 calls for water pumps and tree felling in various areas such as Neo Heraklion, Maroussi, Nea Ionia, Lykovrisi, Chalandri, Nikaia and Piraeus.
In New Heraklion, fallen trees on the main arteries have caused a serious traffic problem.
Problems have arisen on the commuter rail. A palm tree has fallen on Kavala Avenue due to high winds.
As TRAINOSE CEO Filippos Tsalidis told SKAI, the electrical movement occurs up to Larissa station due to falling trees on cables at Renti station.
An accident occurred in the early hours of the morning at ISAP, on the sections between Irini and New Heraklion, when a tree fell on the lines due to strong winds, causing problems in the movement of trains.
At this time the trains leaving from Kifissia to Piraeus stop at Irini and the trains coming from Piraeus stop at Nea Ionia. Firefighters have rushed to the scene to remove the trunk as quickly as possible and re-normalize ISAP routes.
The first car of the train to Chalkida has also been derailed.
Heavy rains hit the Ionian Islands on Monday night and firefighters had to intervene to pump water and cut down trees in Corfu and Kefalonia.
Given the dangerous meteorological phenomena that are expected to spread to several more areas of the country in the next few hours, the General Secretariat for Civil Protection issued instructions, warning citizens – among others – to avoid unnecessary movements and not to cross streams and torrents.
