Storm Daniel turns cataclysmic as it pounds Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey; Several fatalities reported

Four days of cataclysmic rain have lashed the central Greek region of Thessaly, triggering landslides, road and bridge collapses and severing water supplies.

In what has been described as a “biblical catastrophe”, storms also hit other parts of Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey.

Greek authorities have sent push alerts to people in Thessaly, 300km north of Athens, forbidding travel until the water subsided.

At least 64 people were left stranded in several villages near Karditsa, and the flooding also affected the port city of Volos after more than a year of rain fell in 24 hours at the start of the week.
