00:00No!

00:04No!

00:14No!

00:24What am I going to do?

00:28God, help us!

00:32God, help us!

00:37Help us, God!

00:39God, help us!

00:42Help us, God!

00:47Oh, God!

00:57That water that you see there, it came over me.

01:01More cars are coming.

01:05The water is...

01:08It is entering all the houses.

01:11It has a lot of force.

01:13I have water in here.

01:15As you can see, I am flooded.

01:19It is shocking to see that the water reaches the mouth of the ventilation,

01:24up to the chest, up to the middle of the chest, or even past.

01:28This woman who was dragged by the current with the flood

01:33and who ended up colliding with vehicles,

01:36meeting with vehicles in this absolute chaos caused by the water.

01:40The proximity of the water with the entrance, the windows,

01:44what would have happened if it finally came in, came in and grew.

01:48This woman who was practically trapped, who begged for her loved ones,

01:53who looked at the strength of the water, dragging cars, colliding with each other,

01:59and she is inside.

02:01The impact of things floating inside her car.

02:04Not to mention that this car is no longer useful,

02:07that smell, you never take it off,

02:10but what it is about in these situations is to save lives

02:14and the risk of colliding.

02:16And also situations of people trapped in cars,

02:18people trapped on the roofs of some houses

02:21that have also left testimonies because they could not get out of there,

02:25because they could not go down,

02:27and because there was no way that the security forces or the civil defense could help them.

02:32Perhaps here in this sound of the storm in Bahia Blanca,

02:36this true tragedy is heard a little bit,

02:39the speed and strength, the strength, the fierceness of the water,

02:43advancing through the streets,

02:45before in a hospital, now in the middle of the center,

02:48practically dragging vehicles with people inside.

02:52Shocking, how shocking is the image of this car,

02:55which we are going to see next,

02:57which was literally swallowed, swallowed by the earth, right?

03:03The street that was in front of the power of the water,

03:07in the face of its virulence, ends up swallowing a car.

03:11We share it.

03:19There it is.

03:21You can clearly see how the terrain gives way.

03:24Look at what this corridor is.

03:26Once upon a time it was a street, Marina, right?

03:28Once upon a time it was an improved street.

03:30Improved sounds like a kind of euphemism in this context,

03:35but a street that gives way to the violence of the current,

03:41and in that section, precisely, this car is swallowed.

03:46I don't know if to say by the asphalt, because there is no asphalt.

03:48There is nothing left.

03:49No, there is nothing left.

03:51There is nothing left.

03:52A completely overflowed,

03:55that is generating what you are seeing,

03:57these wounds on the ground, on the streets,

04:00the cars that are trapped,

04:02that of course are completely lost.

04:04The speed of the water.

04:06There you see.

04:07How many cars do we count here?

04:09At least up.

04:10Dozens.

04:11Yes, dozens of vehicles,

04:14in corners that practically become small canals,

04:19with a lot of speed of a water that advances.

04:22There we see it more and more.

04:24Let's remember that in Bahia Blanca,

04:26the municipality has decreed the total cessation of activities.

04:29Of course there are no schools.

04:31There is a recommendation expressed to the citizens

04:34not to leave their homes as far as possible,

04:37and there are hundreds of evacuees.

04:41Let's go quickly to Bahia Blanca to contact Luis Cano.

04:44It is not easy to establish communications.

04:46That is why we are going to value what Luis has, Marina, to tell us.

04:49Luis, Marina Calabró, Facundo Pastor in A24.

04:52How are you?

04:54Marina, Facundo, a pleasure.

04:55Good afternoon. How are you?

04:56Good. Where are you? How are you?

04:58And what are you seeing now?

05:01Yes, we are in a real chaos situation,

05:04once again in Bahia Blanca.

05:06I am transmitting to you at this moment

05:08through the phone with the little battery we have left,

05:11from the radio.

05:13Our radio is located in the center of Bahia Blanca.

05:16I am living in a part of the center,

05:20very close to the Plaza Real de Bahia,

05:22a block away.

05:23It stopped raining a little.

05:25It would give the feeling,

05:26or perhaps because one has enormous expectations,

05:29it makes sense that this happens,

05:31that the cloudiness begins to break a little.

05:34But we are going through, once again,

05:36in Bahia Blanca, as a consequence of the climate,

05:38very dramatic hours, I would tell you,

05:40for a good part of the population of Bahia.

05:43Without electricity,

05:44and as this continues,

05:46surely with very little water,

05:49because APSA, which is the service provider,

05:53has stopped drinking.

05:55It has no energy.

05:56There is no energy in much of the city either.

05:58I would tell you that in almost all.

06:00A small panorama of this situation,

06:03once again in Bahia Blanca,

06:05distressing.

06:06There is a whole security committee,

06:08instrumented early in the municipality.

06:11There has also been a communication from the province,

06:14a communication from Patricia Bullrich,

06:17from the Ministry of Security.

06:18Some say that tomorrow there would be provincial officials,

06:22as well as the Minister of Security for Bahia Blanca.

06:25I don't know, really.

06:28It is a distressing situation.

06:30Extreme, distressing, of course.

06:32Another slap that the weather takes care of us.

06:35Of course, of course.

06:36And well, we were just reviewing the forecast.

06:39Unfortunately it will rain or there will be intermittent rains

06:42in the next few hours.

06:43The worst of the flood happened,

06:45but what the specialists say is that

06:48the fact that the water does not stop,

06:50that it continues to fall,

06:52makes everything more complicated.

06:54We are very far from thinking

06:56that the water can drain

06:58or the day after the flood.

06:59Luisa, where did the people stop,

07:01the mothers of the hospital Pena,

07:03the little ones who were evacuated?

07:05What do you know about all this?

07:06Well, they have been instrumentalized quickly

07:11in this emergency committee

07:13that was assembled at 4.30 in the morning

07:15when it started to rain with everything, practically.

07:18At that time, 4.45, it started to rain

07:21in an impressive way.

07:22An emergency committee was quickly assembled

07:25and the evacuees have been transferred to various centers.

07:28I couldn't tell you because there are several,

07:30clubs, societies, depots.

07:33The truth is that the situation, once again,

07:35in the hospital Pena,

07:36practically in many flooded sectors,

07:38which is the provincial hospital,

07:40the municipal hospital,

07:42only emergencies,

07:44before, obviously,

07:46all other activities have been suspended.

07:48The city is paralyzed.

07:50Early, there is no school,

07:52there are no classes,

07:53there is no food.

07:55We are bad.

07:57Luis, we are losing you.

07:59We want you to save battery

08:00because it will be impossible for you to recharge.

08:02Thank you for the contact.
