Last night Kalamata was hit by a flood and most of us were affected by it. Already yesterday and during the night we had several storms and strong rain here. We woke up from water streaming in our rooms and had to rescue ourselves one level up. Everyone is fine and we found another hotel to spend the last days in. However, the demage at the hotel is huge. Our rental cars were flushed away and clothes from our luggage are soaked in or at least smell like dirt. One dog that we saw every day going to breakfast was on a leash and and couldn’t rescue himself.
For the campaign that means that todays measurement flight was cancelled, the option for another one tomorrow is currently discussed. Everyone scheduled to leave today cannot.
One thing is for sure.. This was an event/adventure that we won’t ever forget..
Here are some impressions:
During the night, after escaping to the first floor.
My room, after the water went down again.
Lower water level.
Can you spot one of our rental cars?
Uff, this is truly shocking… We are so glad you are ok! We hope you can finish your campaign and come back safely.
