Heavy rain has been hitting Greece for a week and the outcome was complete destruction and terror. According to reports, most of the people that were really affected by this were the elderly.

With no way to escape a lot of the old souls were trapped inside their homes.

This story just hit media stream so not much detail on their current status.

Holy crap, the force of nature is brutal. She strikes again.

Are our fellow Greec steemians all okay?
@iliasdiamantis, are you in the scene there?

All good here. It feels strange knowing this is so close to me, I live in Athens so it is just around the corner from me.

Good to hear! Stay safe!

Will do. At some point I will write some articles about what went wrong with Greece overall. This will make it obvious why such a catastrophe is having a so dramatic outcome in Greece, while in other countries the problem would be limited.

This is very disheartening. My prayers to the people in need.
Thank you for shedding light on this sensitive topic @joseph
At times like this is when the world must come together as one and help those in need.

Wow... i upvoted your comment...then read your name.... that is kinda rude/odd/weird. But ok. At least it was a good comment.

@justncase the name was supposed to be a joke and now i can't change it :/ I don't mean any offense.

No worries.
Just n Case you didn't notice, My name is an attempt at something too.

You can always start a new account and just transfer all your Steem over. I can upvote you to help bring your Reputation up. If that helps

No offense taken. Have a good one! ^^

@i69withyourmumii, I couldn't agree with you more.

MY CONDOLENCES
Nature is sometimes also tired of the human behavior that endlessly disturbs him, the destruction of the forest is the main cause of the flood, by God's will for sure.
Let's take care of nature and all its biological diversity, so we can be a little avoided from disaster.

This is really sad

@joseph Most parts of the world have experience flood recently and even before, i think all we need to do is to build good drainage system before hand. At Lagos Nigeria we experience the hit early this year. @theheralds

@theheralds most parts have. But in my opinion, it's gonna take more than a better drainage system.

Mother nature,please sphere us

feeling very sad after hearing this news, hope things will change quickly

Such is life. So sad.
