Heavy hail in northern Attica

Large hail the size of a chicken egg hit the northern coast of Attica. Our reader from Agia Apostoli reports that the hailstones were amazing in size and complains that the hail broke the tiles on the roof of his house.

The hail reportedly caused severe damage to agriculture. Due to heavy rain, traffic on the coastal highway has been suspended; authorities are repairing roads, clearing fallen trees and pumping water from flooded basements.
