I wrote the above post as the eye was passing. Then the wind came from another direction with gusts of F12 (hurricane). Unfortunately while I was away from the harbour, my boat broke free and came to rest on a fishing boat. This caused damage to stanchions, pushpit and rudder box. Could have been a lot worse and there was plenty of help around. Work for the winter.Katelios
Drapano (aka de Bosset) Bridge damaged, not sure if structurally but certainly cosmetically. The road between Assos and Myrtos has gone.
Is that Ostria (as was)? B*ggered their trade! But they don't mess around, that tree is probably chopped into logs for the fire by now.Sorry to hear about the boat... just by the way, Sheila OK?
Kefalonia Needs Your Help NOW After Devastating Hurricane-like Storm
Storms bring more heavy rain, high winds to Ionian islandsJust a few days after Cyclone Ianos wreaked havoc on several Ionian islands and in central Greece, stormy weather battered other islands in the Ionian Sea on Wednesday, provoking more flooding.On Corfu, the fire service received numerous calls to pump out flooded homes and stores while similar incidents were reported on Paxos.The General Secretariat for Civil Protection appealed to islanders to avoid unnecessary travel while the bad weather continues.
Western Greece to come under fresh storm pressureThe islands of the Ionian and the western mainland should brace for more storms starting on Friday night and persisting through Saturday, the national weather service, EMY, said, warning of strong downpours and winds reaching speeds of 8 on the Beaufort scale.EMY said that the new wet front will sweep in from the southwest, hitting the Ionian islands – which have been battered by cyclone Ianos and storms in recent days – and Epirus on Friday night.The Civil Protection Agency issued an advisory, meanwhile, warning residents and visitors in those parts of the country affected by storms not to venture outside without good reason or engage in unnecessary outdoor or marine activities.
Severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall and strong winds are expected.
