00:00At 7.30 a.m. the toilets began to overflow.
00:04The toilets and the fences that you had put up.
00:06Of course, so when the toilets overflowed, we no longer had a way to have the water.
00:10Because the water began to rise inside the house.
00:13So, well, from 7 to 9 the house was flooded.
00:16It was at the height above the beds.
00:18We had already tried to put all the electricity above,
00:22from the high furniture, from the mattress.
00:25And well, things broke, floating in the courtyard.
00:29The motorcycle and the car floating in the courtyard.
00:32Floating in the car, in the courtyard, yes, yes, yes.
00:34So, well, we got on the motorcycle and put it on top of the table.
00:38So we also put some bricks on the slope so that it would not reach.
00:42But, well, the water was rising more and more and, well, we could not ...
00:46Do you have two children?
00:47We have two children.
00:48How did you do with the children?
00:50The children got on top of the tables.
00:52And, well, they were already, with the issue of the previous season,
00:56they had a kind of saying, well, if this happens, we are going to prepare.
01:01So they prepared their bags with their clothes.
01:04Even candles, they prepared the children for the power cut.
01:08And when it was already eleven o'clock,
01:10that we had communicated with my dad,
01:12that they came to look for us because there was no internet,
01:14the light had been cut off, because the light was short-circuited.
01:16We cut off the thermals.
01:18And we heard the screams of the neighbors,
01:20and that they were making emergency lights.
01:22And we could not do anything, because we had to go swimming.
01:25How desperate.
01:26Swimming.
01:27Swimming.
01:28And, well, at eleven o'clock, my brother-in-law arrives,
01:31he is a military man and has made rescues.
01:34And he came walking.
01:36He swam over there, he came, he grabbed the wire,
01:39and we took the children out on horseback.
01:42What a disappointment.
01:43Yes.
01:44But, well, we have to be strong,
01:46because the children also absorb if you get into crisis.
01:49It's terrible.
01:50And when we were coming out, we heard ...
01:52No, first transmit to Viviana that it is very shocking
01:55that your children are so aware,
01:58have those basic knowledge that save your life, right?
02:02Because in this case, the children know what to do.
02:05That intuition, right?
02:06Of course.
02:07And you save a lot of time when it comes to,
02:10or it was in this case, a storm that took everything in minutes, nothing more.
02:14Think about the idea of leaving your house.
02:16Marina is listening to you.
02:18Marina Facu.
02:19Yes.
02:20Viviana, well, first congratulate you for having the boys so aware of what can happen,
02:26because that makes the difference between life and death.
02:29And on the other hand, ask you how many neighbors are there in the neighborhood,
02:33because we are seeing the images of the drone.
02:35It is a lagoon and you can see some roofs of some houses.
02:39How many are the affected there, where you live?
02:44Well, in the closest part to us,
02:48we are 12 families and we have the houses under the water.
02:53Then you have, if you look through the drone,
02:56where those clear bushes are.
03:00Yes.
03:01You already have another neighborhood that already has more than 30 families
03:05that have the water also at the height,
03:07but well, they are not flooded like us.
03:10In all cases, Viviana,
03:12they are places that you bought, land that you bought,
03:16that were supposed to be looted,
03:19and you are in another claim.
03:21They were also swindled.
03:23Yes.
03:25Yes, in reality, we buy with good faith, we pay fees.
03:28Of course.
03:29I mean, we don't usurp anything.
03:33We buy with good faith, believing that at some point we will be able to write.
03:39Of course.
03:40And was it usually a place, a territory that was flooded
03:44or was it flooded by the amount of water?
03:46In the previous tremendous storm of December 2024,
03:51was it also flooded?
03:55Not in this way.
03:56No.
03:57Because now we are talking about another amount of water,
03:59but yes, the streets were flooded.
04:02Of course.
04:03Because we don't have it open.
04:05At the time we went to the delegation
04:07to ask for the streets to be opened.
04:09And since this is not in the municipal plan,
04:12they don't open the streets for us.
04:14And that is also a claim that we are asking for,
04:16for the streets to be opened for us.
04:17Because that will allow the water to flow a little more.
04:20Of course.
04:21Well, it is a claim that all the neighbors in the area make.
04:24And thinking about the day after,
04:26unfortunately we are still far away,
04:28because the water is there.
04:29There is a rain forecast that we are now going to review.
04:31Of course, not with this copiousness
04:34and not what has already happened.
04:36Obviously.
04:37But how do you imagine the day after?
04:42Well, when the storm came,
04:45we took all the precautions
04:46so that we don't smell the ceiling anymore.
04:48Of course.
04:49But at this moment, how are we going to avoid this?
04:54Let the water get into the bathroom,
04:56let it fill the street.
04:57No, impossible.
04:58Impossible.
04:59Viviana, and specifically now,
05:00who is assisting you there?
05:02Because what we saw with Carlos just now.
05:04The neighbors.
05:05Only the neighbors.
05:07And what do they need in the area?
05:09A boy from a club just came to offer us food.
05:14Of course.
05:15And what do they need in the area?
05:20Look, I'll tell you what is sad to hear.
05:23First we need the water to go down
05:25to be able to solve the issue
05:27that we don't have mattresses,
05:28we don't have beds,
05:29we don't have shoes.
05:31We get into the water all the time
05:33to look for other things,
05:34to take care of our house.
05:36Everything is destroyed.
05:39Of course.
05:40We need toilet paper to wash our clothes,
05:43because we will also have to disinfect the houses.
05:45And now where are they staying?
05:47Because, well, you were talking about your husband,
05:49who we saw there with you,
05:50your two children.
05:52How did they organize themselves?
05:54Where did they spend the night?
05:55Where are they going to spend the night today?
05:59We are sleeping in my parents' bed,
06:01they gave us their bed,
06:03they are sleeping in the small beds.
06:07The four of us sleep in their two-bedroom bed
06:10in the retirement home.
06:12They didn't get the water?
06:15Drains, the streets couldn't go through,
06:18but not what we see,
06:20this magnitude that happened to us.
06:22Of course.
06:23And it struck me that you said
06:25that no one came to help,
06:26except some neighbor of goodwill,
06:29some private, but he didn't come.
06:32On the other hand, I keep thinking, Marina, Viviana.
06:34It is also difficult to get there.
06:36It is difficult to get there.
06:37What we see with the A24 drone
06:39is practically a lagoon
06:41that was taken to a neighborhood,
06:43there are few houses.
06:44Carlos, the neighbor, Viviana,
06:46was complaining about the streets.
06:49Of course, I say,
06:50you can't even see the streets.
06:52And you tell me that in the previous flood
06:55the streets also failed.
06:58They didn't get to drain.
07:00Yes, because we don't have the streets open.
07:02The streets are not open.
07:03And what does this municipal decision depend on?
07:06It was a mistake of the developer,
07:08who looted the neighborhood
07:10and sold the land and the houses.
07:12What does it depend on?
07:13Or who does it depend on?
07:16We had asked the delegation of Villa Jardin Gring
07:19to pass the machine
07:21and open the streets for us.
07:24But since that also has a whole protocol,
07:26a bureaucracy,
07:27it also depends on that.
07:29Of course.
07:30But, let's see,
07:31you can walk there, Leo, with Viviana.
07:33We see a street back there.
07:35Maybe Viviana can tell us where.
07:38What I will be able to do is turn a little bit,
07:41because there is a lot of wind
07:44and the signal issue is at risk.
07:48So, we move a little bit.
07:52You are also telling us
07:54how the signal is.
07:56It looks perfect.
07:58It looks perfect.
07:59Look, if we move a little bit,
08:01you will be able to see Viviana's house.
08:05And we are going to locate ourselves.
08:08The one on the right, look,
08:10where the garbage can is, more or less.
08:12Of course, what a disaster, for God's sake.
08:14Of course.
08:15The second can, the little square.
08:17This is the traveling neighborhood of the south, Leo.
08:20Yes.
08:21Ah, the one in Chapa, the one that looks like Chapa.
08:23Yes, that is our house.
08:25Yes.
08:26I can imagine seeing her like that.
08:29The truth is that it is very sad.
08:31And, well, the truth is that God gives us the strength to move forward
08:34for our children.
08:36They are only 8 and 12 years old
08:39and they don't want to come back here.
08:41Because their father went through this with the roof
08:43and now, again, we are facing this.
08:45They are very scared.
08:47And we have to be strong for them.
08:49The truth is that, well, I work,
08:51my wife also works,
08:53but the truth is that there is no money here.
08:55It sells itself.
08:57But, well,
08:59I give thanks to God
09:01because the four of us are alive.
09:03The other day I woke up and saw my family
09:05and the most beautiful thing that could happen.
09:07Of course, of course.
09:08The conversation with this person who can't find her,
09:10or what happened with the roof, right?
09:12But, well, I believe in God
09:14and I know that all things help his children for good.
09:17And that is what gives me strength to move forward.
09:20You were telling me that the children are scared,
09:22that they are scared.
09:24What could you talk to them about?
09:26What could you tell them?
09:28Well, about this,
09:30about continuing, that they are fine.
09:32Yes.
09:34And we talk a lot with them
09:36and we tell them that we don't give up,
09:38that we have to continue,
09:40that, well, it will pass
09:42and that, well,
09:44we have to move forward.
09:46Because I also said,
09:48well, we can't sell there,
09:50we can't sell one day for the next
09:52because we can't scam other people
09:54knowing everything that is happening.
09:56The idea is to evacuate all this water.
09:58Because we really don't take all the things.
10:00We only take a few things
10:02because we want to come back here.
10:04Because the truth is that...
10:06I imagine that Viviana also joins you.
10:08Turn around a little
10:10so they can see you.
10:12A life project behind all this, right?
10:14We have been building our house for eight years.
10:16We are doing it by hand.
10:18I mean,
10:20we were buying a sheet, another sheet,
10:22that flew away in the storm.
10:24We sold the car to be able to roof and tow.
10:26What?
10:28That we had sold the car to be able to roof and tow
10:30and live here, in the house.
10:32And then it happened to us,
10:34a month later,
10:36the sheet flew away.
10:38The whole roof flew away in the storm.
10:40And, well, a lot of people,
10:42co-workers,
10:44my grandmother, helped us.
10:46And between family and friends,
10:48they helped me lift the house back up.
10:50And now, again, I'm putting everything back.
10:52Leo,
10:54Viviana, can you hear me?
10:56Viviana,
10:58don't you want to share an alias?
11:00Let's see if we can give a hand,
11:02so they can help us a little.
11:04Because the truth is that, as Leo said,
11:06there is this life project,
11:08this working family with their little ones,
11:10who came eight years ago,
11:12and I don't know if production
11:14will let me know if we can work
11:16in that direction.
11:18Viviana,
11:20do you want to share an alias?
11:22Let's give you a hand.
11:28Yes, I mean, we need help,
11:30but I know all the neighbors need it,
11:32and we don't want to be unfair to others.
11:34But it's you. Take advantage of it.
11:36How wonderful, Leo.
11:38It's Tierra.
11:40Repeat after me.
11:42Tierra.
11:44Tierra.Sombra.
11:46Yes.
11:48.Yeso.
11:50Tierra.Sombra.Yeso.
11:52Viviana Ayala.
11:54Yes, Viviana Ayala.
11:56Ayala.
11:58So, when they put this alias,
12:00Tierra.Sombra.Yeso,
12:02Viviana Ayala has to appear.
12:04Check that it's Viviana's account.
12:06And you know what, Viviana,
12:08it's so moving that
12:10in the face of this tragedy
12:12that you're living and losing everything
12:14after so many years of building your house,
12:16the first thing you think
12:18is that there are a lot of people
12:20who are having a hard time
12:22and it's not fair that they help you.
12:24And it is fair, you know,
12:26because maybe you,
12:28with what you have,
12:30can give a hand to the person next to you
12:32or to the person in front of you
12:34or to the person a little further away.
12:36And it's not a shame or a guilt
12:38to be passing your alias
12:40because, well, it's the effort of your whole life
12:42and it was taken away by the storm.
12:46Yes, the truth is that
12:48the car was left floating there
12:50and now to go to work
12:52we are asking to be taken away.
12:54Of course, because working
12:56is the only way to get out of here.
12:58Of course.
13:00What do you work on, Viviana?
13:02The vice gallery was taken away.
13:04In 2000 it was flooded
13:061.20 meters under the water.
13:08You lost merchandise, you lost everything.
13:10What do you sell?
13:12Bookstore.
13:14All paper.
13:16At such an important moment,
13:18because the classes were coming.
13:20High season for the bookstore.
13:22And what does your husband do, Vivi?
13:24He works in a cleaning company
13:26here in Bahia Blanca.
13:28He is an employee.
13:30And they are working now,
13:32even though everything is cut off.
13:34Yes.
13:36And they are helping
13:38to get the mud out of the center.
13:40Of course.
13:42Today I had to work
13:44and we were on Chiclana Street
13:46between Israel
13:48and Branson.
13:50We were there
13:52fighting with all the guys
13:54trying to
13:56do our job,
13:58helping each other
14:00to get Bahia forward.
14:02So that Bahia
14:04is as beautiful as it is.
14:06So that it is good as it was.
14:08So, nothing.
14:10And tonight, Viviana,
14:12where do you spend the night?
14:14What is your husband's name?
14:16Damián.
14:18Damián and Viviana.
14:20Where are you going to spend the night?
14:22We continue with my parents.
14:24They took refuge.
14:26How are your parents?
14:28They are fine.
14:30And with the soul
14:32they tear us apart
14:34because they are retired.
14:36They help us as much as they can.
14:38Did they also flood?
14:40They were drips
14:42because the roofs
14:44were not prepared for the rain.
14:46So much rain all together.
14:48Do you know what I was thinking?
14:50Well, there was a suspension of activities.
14:52I understand that the municipality
14:54plans to reschedule the elective cycle
14:56because the children go to school nearby.
14:58How was the school?
15:00Can they go back there?
15:02Because that is another drama.
15:06And the teachers are doing
15:08a lot of cleaning work.
15:10And on Wednesday
15:12they are going to start.
15:14The truth is that I am really
15:16worried about the condition of the children.
15:18Of course.
15:20And yes, it is a big trauma.
15:22Because they are very scared.
15:24Experts say that they will need
15:26therapeutic assistance.
15:28Not only the children,
15:30but also the adults.
15:32Because it is very complex
15:34to think about those children
15:36who may have been able to save something
15:38but they may have lost a lot.
15:40The toys, the notebooks, the backpacks.
15:46We in the church
15:48are in contact with many children
15:50and the children hear the rain
15:52and they start to tremble.
15:54Of course.
15:56They had already experienced
15:58the strong wind that blew
16:00part of the roof.
16:02Yes.
16:04The city was terrified.
16:06Of course.
16:08Land. Shadow.
16:10Clay.
16:12To help this couple,
16:14this young family.
16:16How old are you, Viviana?
16:1836.
16:20They will recover.
16:22We have no doubt
16:24that with you, with love.
16:26I don't know if you can check.
16:28Viviana, so you leave us alone.
16:30That people's hands are entering.
16:32It is always important to check
16:34that it is working.
16:36If you have a way to check it.
16:38I don't know if there is a signal there, Leo.
16:40No, there is a lot of problem
16:42with the 4G signal.
16:44Well, keep sending.
16:46Although it has been restoring
16:48the help will come.
16:50Viviana?
16:52The nobility of Viviana.
16:54Yes, and this gesture you had
16:56of there are many people
16:58who have a bad time and I don't deserve it.
17:00The truth is that it is chicken skin.
17:02And I thought
17:04you go to your parents' house
17:06and you have to feed a lot of mouths.
17:08Your mom, your dad,
17:10the kids, you.
17:12I don't know if all
17:14the businesses are open.
17:16They don't work, they don't get money.
17:18They are fine,
17:20they have to spend the day,
17:22to have dinner.
17:26We have had the help of the churches
17:28of Villa Jardin.
17:30They make meals
17:32and distribute in the afternoons.
17:34They distribute to people who attend,
17:36but they also distribute
17:38to those who do not attend.
17:40Very good.
17:42Viviana, can you show us
17:44if it is that
17:46in the middle of that madness
17:48you can recognize those places
17:50that you say and insist
17:52that you want the municipality to open
17:54so that tomorrow when the water goes down
17:56they are streets and also help the neighborhood
17:58within what can be moved.
18:02If you see here the cord of the light,
18:04I don't know if you see the palm trees.
18:06Yes, yes, very clear.
18:08And in the background you see some bushes.
18:10That would be the street
18:12that they have not wanted to open.
18:14They never opened it, right?
18:16No, they never opened it.
18:18And why?
18:20What is the interest behind not opening it?
18:22What do you want to avoid by opening it?
18:24Why?
18:26Is it decisive or is there a business behind this?
18:30And one always tries to think
18:32that it is decisive,
18:34so as not to think that they are profiting
18:36with what happens to all of us.
18:38They tell us that since it is not planned,
18:40that it is not a neighborhood designed or planned,
18:42we have to wait
18:44or we have to go and knock on another door.
18:46We go and knock on another door
18:48and that door doesn't open either.
18:50Good.
18:52Viviana, then pass Leo
18:54a cell phone, beyond your alias,
18:56because people are contacting us
18:58who want to help you.
19:00Of course.
19:02In fact, from a very important distributor
19:04of toys and bookstores,
19:06who are going to help you rebuild your company,
19:08who are going to connect you
19:10with suppliers who have goods
19:12to provide you.
19:14Well, I like that.
19:16People are very supportive.
19:18Thank you, Loli Berliner Blau.
19:20Don't cry, Viviana.
19:22You're going to be able to reassemble.
19:24You have to save energy
19:26and be strong.
19:28Yes.
19:32No, nothing to thank for.
19:34How long have you been in business, Viviana?
19:36Because you were just talking about eight years
19:38building your house and your business.
19:40How long?
19:42Six.
19:44Six years.
19:46Of course.
19:48And from day to night you realize
19:50that there is nothing left.
19:52In addition, with all the investment in merchandise,
19:54a lot of money went there.
19:56Yes.
19:58But one goes on and says,
20:00I'm going to get out of this.
20:02Because as my husband used to say,
20:04we have God and we have someone to fight for,
20:06who are our children.
20:08Of course. Bring Damian.
20:10Bring Damian.
20:12So they can hug each other and be together.
20:14They are going to need each other a lot.
20:16Hello, Damian.
20:18Facundo Pastor greets you.
20:20How are you, brother?
20:22How are you?
20:24Good.
20:26Asking God to give me wisdom,
20:28direction,
20:30what to do,
20:32because with all that is happening,
20:36my son tells me,
20:38let's sell there.
20:40And I say, I don't know.
20:42I ask God to give me wisdom,
20:44and I can do the right thing.
20:46And they will have it, Damian.
20:48They will have it.
20:50They have to trust that there are a lot of people
20:52who want to help them,
20:54who want to accompany them.
20:56And they have to hold on, Damian.
20:58Yes.
21:00This is what you were just saying,
21:02that the four of them are together.
21:04That is the most important thing, you know?
21:06That's right.
21:08That's the most valuable thing.
21:10That's the most valuable thing, Damian.
21:12It's the only thing.
21:14If everything else is fixed,
21:16is recovered,
21:18you are hard workers,
21:20you have worked hard to build the house,
21:22you will work hard again.
21:24There are a lot of people who want to help them.
21:26There are a lot of people who want to help them.
21:28They want to put the alias back in the basement
21:30so that they can be transferred.
21:32There it is permanently,
21:34land.shadow.clay
21:36to give a hand to this family.
21:38I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
21:40I just don't want them to help me,
21:42but everyone who needs it.
21:44We are going through such a difficult situation.
21:46Well, but look, Damian,
21:48think about it like this.
21:50They are also going through it.
21:52Look, think about it like this.
21:54And you constitute yourself there
21:56as a delegate of the neighborhood
21:58and you give a hand to whoever you want.
22:00And as Marina just said,
22:02it is being built, you know?
22:04Well.
22:06Well.
22:12It's good that this can be solved.
22:14They can open a street here
22:16so that the water can drain
22:18because we want to see in our house.
22:20We want to solve it.
22:22We want to solve it.
22:24Let me ...
22:26Please, I beg you,
22:28that you can fix it here,
22:30give us a solution.
22:32Because I have the car,
22:34I have all the things.
22:36Like all the families who are here
22:38who have all their things
22:40and want to recover their house.
22:42Because they are all workers
22:44with the desire to progress.
22:46We are all young people
22:48who are living here
22:50so may God bless
22:52all the white people
22:54and bless those people
22:56who are having a very bad time,
22:58who lost a child.
23:00That is sad.
23:02Because I can say,
23:04my family is with me.
23:06Damián, Viviana, we hug you.
23:08We are on our way with Leo.
23:10Thank you both very much.
23:12I hope the hand of the people
23:14is accompanying you.
23:16And of course we stay
23:18for the future and for your family
23:20and for what is coming.
23:22A lot of strength for both of you.
