The severity of the Daniel storm phenomenon and the large volume of water it caused is evidenced by the image recorded inside the Tempe valley, specifically at the point where the suspension bridge crosses it.

As can be seen the waters that filled the valley almost covered the suspension bridge.
This practically means that at that point the waters reached a height of up to 18 meters where the suspension bridge of Tempe is located.

However, as the mayor of Tempo, Giorgos Manolis, clarified, the suspension footbridge “is currently standing there. I hope it stays that way.”
The dead toll reached 15, reducing the number of missing, since the body of the 42-year-old man who had been swept away in front of his 17-year-old son by a sailboat in Pagasitikos was found.
Also a mother and a son that were missing, from Metamorfosi Karditsa were found.
Yesterday morning, the 58-year-old who was missing from Agios Dimitrios was also located with the assistance of a drone, while two Austrians are still missing from Potistika Pelion.
