A rainy morning in Athens

8.50a.m. Outside it rains a lot.

Rain caused a lot of problems in Athens. It's been raining since late last night and as I hear it's the strongest storm since 1961. Once more many houses, stores and streets flooded.

I would expect nothing else. That's what always happens because no Greek government has ever dealt seriously with the necessary infrastructure and most people involved in public works just took the chance to make money.

In the center of Athens problems were less.

In the evening I walked around my neighborhood. In Anagnostopoulou street the trunk of a tree broke and fell onto parked cars.

But that's nothing compared to the damage caused by the rain in other areas.
