Adobe1998 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Have you seen the terrible fires going on all over Greece at the moment. The satellite image is quite scary. I have family over in Greece and it is worrying. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 My mom called me and she was almost crying over the phone. The view out of our balcony is of a napalmed mountain. Its almost like a volcano erupted, she has to wake up every morning and remove 1 cm of dust from the car. Do you have relatives living in Greece or over for vacation?

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 they reckon it was started on purpose, by some arsonist Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Many of them have started as arson, especially the ones on the mountains surrounding Athens or touristic places. Quite a few of them from farmers burning the fields, like the one that almost destroyed Ancient Olympia site. All of them got out of control because of governmental incompetence.
