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.
