  • We are currently on the small and beautiful Greek Island of Skiathos for 2 weeks. Unfortunately severe storms have rolled in and are forecast over the next few days.
    It has come as a surprise to many on the island and has caused a lot of damage. Most people are physically safe but it has caused a lot of distress on the island.
    Any generated revenue will go directly to a relief fund or one of the local animal shelters

      Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. In the next 1-4 years, natural disasters will increase tens of times all over the world. These are cosmic processes that repeat cyclically every 12,000 years, and they not related to human activity.
      To save ourselves and the planet, it's vital to build the *Creative* *Society.* Then, with advanced technologies, we can solve climate problems. In the Creative Society, the life, safety and well-being of every person will be the main priorities.

    Hellow! Jackie here. I work at Dolphins in Skiathos and it was indeed the worst I have ever experienced. I took some photos and videos of my place in Papadiamenti aswell. If you want any for an second part, please give me a heads up🫶🏻 I dont want to post this myself, but I would gladly give the footage I captured for your account.
    It has been a big impact for us all. Especially for the people that have built everything here to live of for a whole year, since in the winter there will be no-one here. Absolutely devastating.

    @peterkovach8655 11 месяцев назад +5

    Thanks for the video. We are actually in Skiathos Town and I would say that around 17:00 last night was the worst. The rushing water basically reached my waist. I think all in all we got lucky because if the rain continued as it was it could have been much, much worse. I think your video captured that it happened in multiple "waves"... one second you think it's all fine and an hour later it's 10x worse. The scariest part was just how quickly it escalated. It was raining very hard all day and there was back and forth flooding but those streets turned into deep dirty rivers so fast around 5:00 pm. I saw similiar sights that you did... cars and mopeds being swept up, trees and debris floating down streets. I hope all the cats are okay. We had a flight out today but clearly that's not happening as the airport has cancelled all flights. Best of luck to you!

    My daughter and 14 of her BFF’s spent 9 days of vacay in this paradise in May to celebrate her 30th birthday. They stayed in a beautiful villa on the top of a hill and walked many places, visited a few beaches, took a boat trip and dined at many great restaurants. She spoke about the lovely people who live and work there and how welcoming and kind they were.
    Even though I wasn’t there, I share her sadness and shock at what this storm has done to this bucolic, incredible place and its people.
    Your presentation and professionalism are both terrific and everything is clearly stated, and those of us looking for news very much appreciate this effort.
    I have subscribed to your account so that I don’t miss your next chapter.❤
    Stay safe! I believe more of this awfulness may be in the forecast.

      Our planet is dying. Very sad, but we will see the entire force of natural disasters worldwide from 2024 and in the future. This is not due to human activity, but occurs cyclically every 12,000 years on all planets of the solar system.
      To save ourselves and the planet, it's vital to build the *Creative* *Society,* where the life, safety and well-being of every person will be the main priorities. Creative Society is a peaceful world without conflicts, poverty, inflation, crises, where we can solve all climate problems.

      Unfortunately, serious difficulties due to a significant increase in natural disasters will begin from 2024 all over the world. And by 2030 there may be nobody left, because the conditions won't be suitable for life.
      In order to survive through the increasing natural disasters, it's vital to build the peaceful *Creative* *Society,* where the life, safety and well-being of every person will be the main priorities.
      There all scientific potential will work without any limitations to save humanity and our planet. We will be able to prevent natural disasters and greatly reduce their strength and amount.
      In the Creative Society everything will be done to ensure the safety and rescue of every person. Everyone will have prosperous living conditions and access to advanced technologies.

      Things are improving. They have drained the pool, so I expect it to be up and running by this evening. The weather is getting better. It was lovely yesterday, and it looks like it's going to be a scorcher today. We're here until Thursday, so at least we can do some catching up. We've hired a quad bike for exploration and adventure for the rest of our time here. Hope the weather is still good for you back in the UK.

    • @alicejohnson4128
      @alicejohnson4128 11 месяцев назад

      Yes, so sad, but every year the number of natural disasters will increase worldwide. A very important climate report was voiced by scientists here: *"Global* *crisis.* *There* *is* *a* *way* *out"* (time 4:37-31:30).
      The only solution is the *Creative* *Society,* where human life will be the highest value, so everyone will be guaranteed safety, well-being and a high standard of living.
      We have to unite all of humanity for a single goal - to survive. Then science and technology will be used for saving our lives.

      Were in a hotel just below the petrol station going out of town at bus stop 4. The basement and ground floor are completely un useable - reception. Lobby. accom. Kitchen. Cellar. Offices. Restaurant. Bar. All beach front has disappeared. The old concrete steps from the 1989’s were exposed as the sand got washed into the sea. Then this concrete was compromised and broke away from the main structure of the building. Such force was very scary.
