Some time ago, a new 112 message was sent out throughout the Magnesia region, reminding of a curfew for all vehicles except firefighters and civil defense specialists.

In the whole region of Volos, not a single car moves, as the water has flooded all the roads and created huge problems for the passage, especially in the region of Pelion, where the roadbed is covered with a deep layer of water and entire roads have been completely destroyed by the fury of the water currents.
