ATHENS (Reuters) - Residents of the small Greek farming village of Metamorfosi have voted in favour of relocating their entire community after it was submerged by flood waters in September, seeking to protect themselves from future climate change-driven disasters.
Metamorfosi - which also flooded in 1953 and 1994 - nearly disappeared beneath the water when Storm Daniel, which brought devastation across the Mediterranean, struck the Thessaly region on Sept. 4-7, turning it into an inland sea. Sixteen people were killed, including two who drowned in Metamorfosi.
