Ah yes, my mistake. Must have been trying to speed read news item between storms.

Better to get the news twice than not at all ;)
Ah, yes... storms = power outages!

Looks like the visit has been cancelled at least for today because Tsipras is going to visit Thassos where a state of emergency has been declared because of the fires.
