Heavy and prolonged rainfall and a canal, which overflowed as a result of flooding the area between the local communities of Alonaki, Skete and Xirolimni of the Municipality of Kozani.
Arable land in the area was flooded, while the cemeteries in the community of Alonakia were not spared, which sank in literally under water.
The momentum of the water was so great that it found a way out, arriving with momentum on the Provincial Road of Kozani, Kastoria.
Crews of the Municipality arrived at the spot and with the help of machines of residents of Alonakia removed the carried materials, to avoid the worst.
As the President of Alonaki Haris Efstathiadis stated to ERT Kozani, it's not the first time, dealing with floods in the area. However, similar works are expected from the Region of Western Macedonia, as funds have been secured for canal cleaning.
