00:00And the information obviously leads us to Bahía Blanca, it is the subject of the day, without a doubt, a tragic day for the city of the south of Bonaire, with unfortunate information that we have to update, Lu, which has to do with the dead.
00:13Yes, exactly, there are already 6 dead, a confirmation that comes from the municipality of Bahía Blanca, a city that unfortunately lived today a day of historical rains, Gaby, which already exceeded 250 millimeters in a few hours.
00:26And the concern has to do with this system of storms that would be moving north of the province of Buenos Aires, a silver sea that in minutes nothing more also enters a meteorological stopover.
00:37Attention with this information because obviously in Bahía Blanca the concerns continue and forward you have to see the storm as it moves.
00:43Very attentive each of the cities that are north of Bahía Blanca to obviously extremize the traffic jams and avoid situations that in advance perhaps can be prevented.
00:56In Bahía Blanca the magnitude of this storm was completely surprising, this is what all meteorologists say.
01:02We have information to share testimonies of what was seen on today's day there in Bahía Blanca, we are going to review them and comment on them.
01:11We are all under a roof, above a roof, we need help, we are behind the hidden one, in the part of Chango Mas, Casanova, I need help, that they can send us help, we cannot communicate.
01:31This is the situation we are living, there are more neighbors above the tanks, on that side we have other neighbors who are above the roof that are no longer seen, and beyond there are other neighbors too, we need urgent help.
01:52These images are very strong, when nature does not give you clemency, when nature puts you in an extreme situation and without the possibility of reacting quickly to these situations.
02:03Yes, Gabriel, the concern is also, and we have talked about it all morning, in the hospital Pena, especially in the neonatology sector, the lieutenant spoke a while ago, who is of course in coordination and in continuous dialogue with the province and also with the nation.
02:17There we are seeing images of what was the self-evacuation by the nurses and the children. The neonatology sector is in the basement, there are more than 4 meters of water in that area and what they indicate is that the concern is for the children who are in a critical state, they are asking for an urgent transfer by the ambulances, of course, the ambulances that cannot leave and the ambulances of the rest of the neighboring municipalities that cannot enter the area.
02:42With many difficulties, I was talking earlier with people in charge of the operation, of coordinating the operations. Difficulties, for example, for the helicopters, to get to the city, to land in the city, to be able to make the transfers, because everything is ready to effectively be able to transfer many of these children or patients, no longer children, also in critical situations, to hospitals in the area, even also to the city of La Plata, it is expected that they will mobilize.
03:08Today, what they say is that it is still very difficult to land in the city because the situation is still critical, a large part of the city is currently under water, without electricity and without clear perspectives of what will happen in the next few hours.
03:22Another thing that those who are in the area comment is that the children of the hospital Pena were already transferred to OSECAP, but of course, the director of neonatology who asks to please rescue the rest of the children. These images that emerged this morning, images that were captured and were uploaded to social networks and went viral right away, because they are the nurses themselves who, waiting for help, of course, after the first rains that were falling, transferring the patients from the stretchers to the corridors of this hospital.
03:50And we talk about Bahía Blanca, but we also have to talk about many cities around Bahía Blanca that are also suffering from this situation. We are going to get in touch with Mario Toledo, who is the chief of firefighters in Huaminí, one of the cities near Bahía Blanca, to see how the situation is and what he can tell us. Mario, good morning, good afternoon, Gabriel Silva greets you here.
04:10Hello, good afternoon, Gabriel, how are you?
04:13How is the situation at the moment?
04:16Yes, look, the situation of the water, we have managed to lower the level in the city, well, we no longer have houses, no houses with water inside, but the rain does not stop and water continues to enter the town.
04:35There is no water in the houses at the moment, they have already achieved, at least in Huaminí, a better situation.
04:41Yes, yes, yes, in Huaminí yesterday the defense had to be broken, it was broken in two places, because Huaminí is contained by a 2,000-meter-high earthquake, and it was broken at both ends so that the water would come out, and well, with that a faster evacuation was achieved than with the bombing system it has.
04:59And speaking of evacuation, do you have families that had to evacuate too?
05:03There were 20 self-evacuating families and one or two families evacuated to a place for the families.
05:15Mario, how are you? Lucia greets you. I understand that traffic on Route 65 is cut off, right? For this collapse of the bridge near Huaminí.
05:24Yes, yes, hello, good afternoon, Lucia. The bridge did not fall, it was given some 7 centimeters, and as a precaution, until they have been evaluated by the relevant agent, Route 65 is cut off.
05:42Well, and is there an approximate number of families that were evacuated?
05:48Self-evacuated were around 20, 22 families. What happens is that our city is a small town.
06:02And how was the moment of the storm? This already as a firefighter, with the experience he has of years in the matter, has he seen storms of this magnitude there in Huaminí?
06:13No, look, I was born here in Huaminí, and well, we lived a big flood in 1985, but so much rain that there was in so few hours, no, no, I never lived it.
06:27Of course, I add you Mario, it is estimated that what rains in half a year approximately, Gaby, it rained in less than 24 hours, more than 300 millimeters of water, what was happening in Bahía Blanca and there as we speak in the towns and in the surrounding areas.
06:44Yes, that's right, here we have an average of 700 millimeters, and this week we are already above 400.
06:52It is not so much so, the problem is that from other localities, they drain the water to our lagoon, and to get to the lagoon, the drains are close to the town, they overflow and flood the town.
07:05Very good, thank you very much Mario, we also wanted to know the situation as it is seen there in Huaminí, good afternoon.
07:11Well, thank you.
07:13And from the images of Huaminí, we move on to images that are being seen, that are being seen from early here in A24, images of sadness, images of pain, images of suffering.
07:23And you also start to see images of rescue situations and rescue tasks, such as these, for example, which are from the army personnel, the Ministry of Defense with Luis Petri at the head, who was also coordinating the situation, evacuating, in this case, boys in the city of Bahía Blanca.
07:42The images show clearly, the city is under water.
07:45Exactly, those images that we are seeing below were commented and published by Luis Petri, just minutes ago, with a tweet that accompanied with a text saying, we move evacuated with vehicles and boats of the Comando 603 company.
07:58We house families in the 181 communications battalion, and we also prepare the base of Puerto Belgrano de la Armada in the face of greater demand.
08:06And this is also added to those who are the most affected.
08:10We are not talking about the children, just in the hospital there in Personal Pena, Dr. Pena, and also the older adults who had to be rescued with images that, of course, move.
08:21And it is the neighbors themselves, of course, with the firefighters who perhaps do not reach the areas where the rescue is requested.
08:28It is the neighbors themselves who help each other.
08:30And with the sad news that we are going to repeat, of six confirmed deaths so far.
08:37And the municipality itself emphasizes this so far, because really the amount of water that rained for four hours in an intense way, caused the city to overflow.
08:48And obviously the situations that we saw in the video a while ago, of tension, of need for rescue, in many cases it is not yet known if those people could be helped or not.
08:58Exactly, still, or at least the municipality of Bahía Blanca did not reveal the identity of these six fatal victims, these deaths from the floods.
09:07It is understood that there are two women, this information is not yet confirmed.
09:12One of them died on the public road when she was walking.
09:16And of course, the precautions that they are trying to transfer from civil defense and the ministries, both the provincial and the national,
09:23that what they are saying is, please do not leave your homes.
09:27We understand that the desperation on the part of the neighbors to want to rescue their belongings and everything they have there in their apartments, in their houses,
09:36sometimes causes movements that are not adequate and that life is in danger.
09:41With rescue operations, rescue, help, help to the evacuees also, on the part of the national government, on the part of the government of the province of Buenos Aires,
09:53all in coordination with the municipality that leads Férico Susbieles, where they were coordinating to try to bring the greatest amount of help in the shortest possible time.
10:04In fact, she just tweeted, for example, the Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich,
10:09saying that she is following minute by minute the operation of the Federal Police, Prefecture and Gendarmerie in Bahía Blanca.
10:17We coordinate each action through the CINEAGIR, which is the system, there we see it on the screen,
10:23which is the system for such situations of risk, so that assistance arrives quickly and where it is most needed.
10:30We deploy all the strength of our forces to help those affected by the flood.
10:36Yes, I add what they had commented from the municipality of Bahía Blanca, in an official statement,
10:41is that at first there was an orange alert by the National Meteorological Service,
10:45finally the alert is red, it will last all day, at first it was going to be until one in the afternoon,
10:50but we see that the rain continues, not with as much power as this morning,
10:55and what also worries us is what we said at the beginning,
10:58what is going to happen with Mar del Plata and with the north of the province of Buenos Aires,
11:02because we understand that this front, this system of rain and storm is coming here to Lamba.
11:07On alert, obviously, to continue in the next few hours, say the meteorologists,
11:11because in the city, obviously, the storms are changing throughout the kilometers that are advancing,
11:16so we have to see how it actually arrives to Lamba in the course of the dawn.
11:21We are sharing testimonies and we will continue to share testimonies
11:25of how this fateful day in Bahía Blanca was experienced.
11:51It's stopped.
11:57It's a disaster.
12:00Look at that car.
12:02Look at that car.
12:04No, no, it's a disaster.
12:07Look.
12:10Look.
12:12Look at that car.
12:14Look at that car.
12:16And it's still raining, for fuck's sake.
12:19A disaster.
12:22They can't get the lady out of the front.
12:27Despair, fear are the situations that are experienced in a case like this,
12:33where you see the images and it seems all surreal,
12:36that you don't understand what is happening,
12:38where you see the cars completely covered by water.
12:41Yes, look, this morning I heard a neighbor who saw from her balcony
12:45the neighbors helping each other,
12:48the covers of the cars completely covered with meters and meters of water,
12:53and the despair, because it was what I was telling you at the beginning.
12:57There are many municipalities that want to help Bahía Blanca,
13:00and the towns as well, but unfortunately the resources are not enough
13:04and the areas are completely flooded.
13:06That means that, unfortunately, they can't get there,
13:09plus the lack of signal, right?
13:11To have good communication between them.
13:12The difficulty is because of the signal, because,
13:15let's remember that the whole city is without electricity,
13:17at least that is the information that is coming to us,
13:19that in a preventive way, even the electricity was cut off.
13:23In a case like this, if the electricity is not cut off,
13:25it can be much more dangerous because of the short circuits
13:28that it can generate, because of the electric discharges.
13:30The despair that we were talking about,
13:32and the fear towards what is coming,
13:34because the rains don't stop,
13:37water continues to fall in Bahía Blanca,
13:39the forecast continues to anticipate that it will continue to rain,
13:42and the despair also for the day after,
13:44everyone who went through the flood says,
13:46the worst moment, obviously, is the flood,
13:48but when the water goes down, what is left is desolation.
13:51Yes, definitely.
13:53Classes suspended,
13:55no one has gone to their jobs,
13:57the interpersonal hospital, which, unfortunately,
14:00is very complicated and is what also worries the neighbors.
14:03And what worries, we repeat it again,
14:05is where this system of rains is going to go.
14:08In fact, I mentioned to you a while ago
14:09that there is a meteorological stopover in Mar del Plata,
14:12which they had already announced,
14:14but they confirmed it just moments ago.
14:16It starts now, in minutes,
14:18from five in the afternoon,
14:20where it is recommended that in Mar del Plata
14:22not to go out to the street, of course,
14:24with classes and jobs suspended.
14:26Obviously attentive to this situation,
14:28the authorities are arriving,
14:30ministers of the province of Buenos Aires,
14:32like Javier Alonso, Minister of Security,
14:34is already in place.
14:36In fact, there is a new part that the government
14:37of the province has arranged,
14:39articulating with the municipality
14:41and in coordination also with the national government,
14:44showing that when they want,
14:46they can work together and maintain some dialogues.
14:49The Ministry of Security of Buenos Aires
14:51sent specialists in rescue,
14:54also sent trucks with materials and resources,
14:57sleds, tents, drones,
14:59a lighting tower,
15:01a transfer team.
15:03Helicopters are ready in the area
15:05for when they can, as we said previously,
15:07land.
15:09And obviously also with the Ministry of Development
15:11and the Ministry of Health and Transport,
15:14coordinating actions to give some kind of help
15:17to the whole city,
15:19because today we have to talk about the whole city
15:21as a victim of this flood.
15:23Yes, I add Guillermo Frangos,
15:25who earlier today spoke with Carlos Bianco,
15:27there in the province,
15:29and Luis Petri, who tweeted with the help
15:31he is sending from the Ministry of Defense,
15:33as you mentioned a while ago.
15:35A province of Buenos Aires,
15:37which has gone through the Bahía Blanca storm,
15:39and the question is,
15:41does it reach the AMBA with the same intensity?
15:43Well, it seems that it does,
15:45that's what worries me,
15:47not only because of the red alert
15:49that is transferred from Bahía Blanca
15:51to the rest of the AMBA,
15:53but also because of these strong storms
15:55for the early hours of Saturday
15:57for the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires,
15:59as a result of this advance of a cold front,
16:01at least this is what those who know say.
16:03We consulted certain experts,
16:05surely we will be talking to them in a while,
16:07about the magnitude of this storm
16:09in the southeast of Buenos Aires,
16:11and also if it can be replicated
16:13in the city of Buenos Aires and its surroundings,
16:15it seems that it does.
16:17Very well, this is the situation in Bahía Blanca,
16:19we will continue in the continuity of A24
16:21with all the information,
16:23it is a critical situation
16:25that is being experienced,
16:27and obviously all the coverage
16:29will be during the day in A24,
16:31following all these weather issues
16:33to see how it affects
16:35the city of Buenos Aires,
16:37how it affects the storms as well.
16:39We have to say goodbye, thank you very much.
16:41It was a pleasure.
16:43We will meet again next Monday
16:45here on Hora Crítica,
16:47it is now 5 p.m. with Pablo Rossi.
16:49Good afternoon.
17:07Hora Crítica
17:38No!
17:43My God, help us!
17:45My God, help us!
17:47My God, help us!
17:55We need help,
17:57we are behind the hide-and-seek,
17:59I need you to help us,
18:01send us help,
18:03we cannot communicate.
18:05This is the situation we are living
18:07right now,
18:09there are more neighbors
18:11on top of the tanks.
18:20The only thing I want
18:22is for my dad to know
18:24that I'm okay,
18:26that I'm going to be okay.
18:28I'm going to be okay,
18:30look how the car is moving,
18:32that car pushed mine,
18:34oh God!
