This is due to a physical, geodynamic phenomenon which can occur in areas of tectonic activity. The witnesses describe what follows as a scene from a biblical destruction: some people were injured, the boats overturned and everyone was running in panic. The beach is now closed down and the access to it is forbidden. Hopefully, the damage will have been restored before next summer. The experts claim that there are seven beaches in high risk in the Ionian islands.<\/p>\n

Below, there is a list of words about physical phenomena:<\/p>\n

earthquake: \u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2 (\u03bf)<\/p>\n

monsoon: \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2 (\u03bf)<\/p>\n

Besides these words, we use nouns from the Bible and the mythology to describe a phenomenon:<\/p>\n

Armageddon: \u0391\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03b3\u03b5\u03b4\u03b4\u03ce\u03bd. We use it to describe the damage caused by extreme physical phenomena<\/p>\n

E.g.<\/p>\n

\u0391\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03b3\u03b5\u03b4\u03b4\u03ce\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1: \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03ac\u03c7\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03b5\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03cc \u03ac\u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1 \u03ad\u03c7\u03b1\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03b5\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03bc\u03bc\u03cd\u03c1\u03b5\u03c2. \/ Armageddon in Kalamata: at least one hundred people lost their property because of the floods.<\/p>\n

Enceladus: According to the myth, \u0395\u03b3\u03ba\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2 was the leader of the giants and was buried under the Mount Etna. Since then, from time to time he tosses and turns under his grave causing earthquakes. We also use the expression \u00ab\u03c4\u03bf \u03be\u03cd\u03c0\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u0395\u03b3\u03ba\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\u00bb which means the Enceladus\u2019awakening.<\/p>\n

E.g.<\/p>\n

\u039f \u0395\u03b3\u03ba\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c7\u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03b7\u03c3\u03b5 \u03be\u03b1\u03bd\u03ac \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u039b\u03b5\u03c5\u03ba\u03ac\u03b4\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2\u00a0 3:00 \u03c4\u03bf \u03c0\u03c1\u03c9\u03af. \/ Enceladus stroke Lefkada again at 3:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
