In Fthiotis, the biggest problems occurred shortly after 9:30 pm. on Tuesday, in the locality of Lokros, in particular between Livanates and Arkitsa, where heavy hail caused great traffic problems on the highway.
According to the lamiareport website, on kilometer 155 of the highway vehicles were stranded, including trucks, while traffic police were trying to alert drivers who would use the road. Police stopped traffic on purpose, while the traffic until midnight had not been fully restored.

Daedalus also hit Katakolo Ilia, where on Tuesday evening there was strong hail in the harbor and even to such an extent that the roadway was completely covered!
It is noted that very strong hail occurred in the area, while vehicle traffic problems were recorded.
