Walking on the beaches

looking for the peaches:

Quote
A devastating hailstorm struck the Greek city of Veris on the evening of Wednesday, 18 June, bringing despair to the region's peach and apricot producers, who saw the work of a whole year going down the drain and are now preparing lawsuits against the ELGA (Greek Agricultural Insurance Organisation).

ELGA is being accused of neglecting to implement anti-hailstorm protection in time.

The exact extent of the damage has not yet been assessed; however, the first estimations point to losses of between 80% and 100% of the peach production in the areas of Veria, Meliki, Makrychori and Vergina.
