Hours of agony in Karditsa, which has turned into a vast lake, with six residents missing and 20 people still stranded in Agia Triada, after the sweeping passage of severe weather front Daniel.

Three people died during the storm 'Daniel' sweeping Greece as of Tuesday and dropping record-breaking amounts of water, particularly in Thessaly. Another three remained missing on Wednesday.

The risk of flooding is now visible with the start of the autumn season, according to Professor Efthymis Lekka, after the devastating megafires that burned hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest in several parts of the country in the previous days.
