The simple white-painted Greek Orthodox Church of Agios Georgios, and the remains of a stone-built defensive structure sit beneath the heights of a rocky peninsular that juts out into the Mediterranean from the coast of Northern Cyprus.

Storm Daniel formed over #Greece and moved towards #Libya. According to National Meteorological Centre of Lybia, its winds peaked at a speed of 70 - 80 km/h. with heavy rainfall
It is unfortunate but the devastation was caused by the breaking of three dams and the release of water that destroyed bridges, flooded cities and left 2,000 dead and 10,000 missing.
Although some media are claiming it, Daniel was not a hurricane but a storm.
@geographile Devastation and death we see in #Libya is due to the failure of three dams and the absence of civil protection because it is a failed state.
I am not a denier of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, but as you say, Daniel, it has not been a #Hurricane.At the moment, #Hurricanes can not be formed due to thermal anomalies sufferen in summerin the #MediterraneanSea.
