Incredible and yet it happened! Wind turbines, true beasts, were broken by the winds blowing in Karystos. According to tvstar.gr, the winds in recent days have reached 11 Beaufort, 160kmph. Several wind turbines from the wind farm in Katsaroni were bent in two by the stormy winds.

The Aegean's fabled summer winds, the gusty northerly "Meltemia", reached gale force strength over the weekend, with the velocity in the southern Evia harbor town of Karystos reaching 106 kilometers per hour, according data compiled by the national observatory in Athens and the Meteo site.
