Photos in the Storm

 Why has this storm not been given a name?? 

There was bad flooding all over  the country.  Two people were killed, one by raging flood waters and the other by huge waves while securing a yacht


Our stupid cat 
It's pouring with rain and she's sitting out there on the wall. She's been fed and had a little extra but just won't go and shelter
Daughter Danae suggested she wanted to come inside.  Not this one. I've been feeding her twice a day for 10 years but she still spits at me when I bring her food and will swipe with open claws if I get too close

 

Son in law Kyriako's, blue and white,  water taxi in the distance . It had just been hit by a rogue yacht.  The yacht came free from it's moorings across on the mainland, got swept across the strait and collided with the Socrates which was tied to the wharf on Poros .  Fortunately the damage was minor but involved a lot of paperwork afterwards



Cleaning up
The harbour is full of rubbish


Son in law Yiannis went down to pump out the water in Ks boat
He had to do it with a hand pump 
There was so much flotsam and jetsam he couldn't risk it being sucked back into the engine if he used the boats electric pump



A stormy harbour



Fousa.
 Grapevines under even more water


And now there's more rain scheduled tomorrow

  1. Southern Europe is really getting battered at the moment.
    It seems nowhere in the world is escaping from snow, wind or rain right now.

    1. Yes, incredible flooding in Malta and Sicily and now elsewhere. NZ got battered too and it's supposed to be summer there. Huge storm approaching the US.
      Crazy weather everywhere

  2. Hard to imagine so much rain in Poros. To have so much debris in the harbour it must have been very violent
