“A total catastrophe”: Greek islands full of mud and debris after bad weather, racing against the clock to clean up everything before Easter

What should have been a radiant start of the tourist season was brutally beaten up by bad weather on the Aegean Islands. In just two hours, a storm of storm cars and terraces dragged into the sea, flooded houses and shops, and turned picturesque streets into swirling mud flows. Residents speak of an unparalleled disaster, while emergency services racing against the clock to repair the damage before Easter crushed. But behind the chaos lies a painful truth: this catastrophe is not only the work of nature, but also of years of unbridled construction anger and failing water management.
