00:30We are not going very far because we are afraid that it will happen in the house or not very far.

00:37Knowing that we will no longer have electricity, we will no longer be able to pull the water bowls, take showers, so we anticipate.

00:47I am 20 years old and I have never seen this.

00:52I wish good luck to all those who are in the same situation.

00:59We are preparing in case the water comes through there.

01:02We have never known that, but here, visibly, the dung is going to exceed what it has always known.

01:08So here it is not a very important place.

01:11I am thinking of all those who are already under the water.

01:14Already yesterday, we had to do everything urgently.

01:17I was born here and I have never known dung to that extent.

01:23It went up very quickly on Saturday night.

01:26And on Sunday, we overcame everything we could.

01:41It is because of this that I went to see the damage.

01:46Seeing cars under water is a bit exceptional.

01:49No, absolutely not. I have never seen this before.

01:52That's why I was passing by.

01:54It's surprising.

01:56It's not really worrying, because there have already been some dung.

01:59It's surprising.
