Hailing from Falani, Larissa, Greece, Spiros Svarnas vividly recounts the aftermath of Storm Daniel, a climate disaster that unleashed havoc on his community.

The relentless rainstorms, a hallmark of this storm, didn't just flood streets—they burst dams, wiped out roads and bridges, and submerged cars. The consequences are profound, leaving areas without power and clean drinking water.

In this agricultural town, the toll on life is staggering, with around 9,000 animals lost, including 500 beehives owned by Spiros. The floodwaters, now tainted with the stench of death, carry the remnants of fallen animals and fishes. Adding to the misery, oil spills from residential and business tanks, along with garbage from landfills, worsen the environmental catastrophe. The aftermath of Storm Daniel has thrust Spiros and his community into a dire situation, grappling with the grim reality of this climate chaos.
