Athens, floods hit hard there, and the fire department fielded almost 500 emergency calls, including over 30 rescues. Schools shut down east of Athens, plus islands like the Dota Canese, Cyclades, and Crete, while a bridge collapsed on poros from flooding. Most fairy-state docked Wednesday, straining folks headed to the islands. On roads, 70 miles per hour gusts, and 15-foot waves wrecked beaches, canceled dozens of flights at Diagoras Airport and bent palm trees, like pretzels. Crete got hammered too by a Saharan dust storm, turning the air to mud and grounding plains. Flights from London and Brussels diverted to Kourfu and Athens as visibility tanked to 1,000 meters. A tornado near Pachia Amos flipped a truck, uprooted trees, and trashed greenhouses with dust levels spiking over 1,000 micrograms per cubic. Meter air quality, straight hazardous.
