00:00This is Clary, and this is the image of what is going on here in Bahia Blanca.
00:07This father who tries to get out step by step, not to fall, measuring every step,
00:16taking his daughter out in the middle of all this situation, behind the mother,
00:21who obviously greets him, well, carefully, I imagine, well, going out as you can.
00:29Yes, as you can, well, nothing, this area is just missing,
00:35an hour was pending for the drainage of this whole area, which is here,
00:39a block over here and two over there, on Avenida India, which was pending to be done,
00:46then that, that drop, makes these neighborhoods ...
00:49How did the water surprise you?
00:51I was working, just working on the shift at night,
00:54and well, my wife and the desperate girls called me that water was coming in.
01:00At first it was little, but when I got to 7, I have the truck there,
01:04I left it there because it was, from there I saw that everything was flooded,
01:08and well, nothing, we entered and the water was advancing more and more until it reached this height,
01:15and nothing.
01:16Were you able to save something?
01:18No, everything that is, the molding, I was there trying to remove the wooden drawers,
01:24you see, the kitchen moldings, everything was ruined.
01:29The EVA, all the appliances, everything that was in the drawers, some things we took out.
01:34How did they survive? Because I imagine the desperation to get it out, in the middle of the situation.
01:38Yes, we took out the mattresses, luckily we have a high floor,
01:42so we went there, we got on the mattresses and slept there.
01:46We took water, nothing, obviously without light, for the water, for the cuts, and well, nothing.
01:55It hurts, I imagine, to see everything.
01:57Yes, a huge loss of material, everything got wet, the mattresses, everything.
02:03Leo, and ...
02:04Did you receive any help that allows you to start again?
02:09Yes, now yes, I don't know how we are going to start.
02:11But well, nothing, the good thing is that nothing happened to any of us, all material, all material.
02:20No, please.
02:21This is the image and how it is lived.
02:24Leo ...
02:25Here is the mother too, who comes from behind.
02:27Yes.
02:28Let's hear ...
02:29Yes, yes, Clari, say a few words.
02:32Hello Leo, do you hear me?
02:35Everything is very sad.
02:36The most important thing is that we are healthy and well, I know that there were deceased, so nothing,
02:42try to get ahead now, little by little, but well, rescue that we are alive and we are well.
02:50And the material?
02:52Everything, so many sacrifices of so many years, nothing, no words.
02:57Strengths.
02:59Leo, can you hear me, Leo?
03:01Yes.
03:02Leo, can you ...
03:03There I hear you, Clari.
03:04Leo, I'm thinking, right?
03:06I'm carefully watching and listening to the testimonies.
03:09The temperance of the people in the midst of this chaos, but also that quota of hope,
03:16knowing that in any case what is coming is very difficult.
03:20We have registered, at least the last numbers speak, 10 deceased, more than 1,300 evacuated
03:30and water fell, so that people, so that the public has magnitude.
03:35413 millimeters of water fell, which is the equivalent of 6 months of rain.
03:42This is what explains or understands these images, these images of Bahía Blanca.
03:51Leo, you are doing a brilliant job.
03:56Yes.
03:58And we think, right?
03:59In these girls, we are just helping in this intense search.
04:05Pilar of one year, Delfina of five years, who was in a car with her dad and her mom.
04:11The car was shattered by the storm.
04:15They already located the father and mother, but are still looking for the girls.
04:20And I want to share this with you.
04:22with you. There are also cases of older people who are being searched by their grandchildren
04:27and their children.
04:28Yes, there is a lot of travel because there is a lot of problem with the communications,
04:33Clari. So those who come have to take care personally of these searches, of these contacts.
04:39In fact, today we accompanied a rescue of two older adults, a 91-year-old man who had
04:48stayed, he does not have mobility possibilities, he requires a wheelchair, and he had stayed
04:55in bed that had started to rise to the water level, which began to worry his neighbors
05:01who knew this condition. They brought some tanks, they raised it to some 200-liter tanks
05:08and at that level they were able to raise it until it arrived a few hours ago, an hour ago
05:15at least, the rescue, that two kayaks arrived, that they were able to take him and his wife out,
05:21which is the situation of many older adults who, without a phone and without the possibility
05:25of rescuing, of communicating with someone, to be able to have some possibility of rescue.
05:32Well, here we see another boy who was able to leave his bicycle to a neighbor and now,
05:40I tell you, with a lot of despair, he is also going inside to try to find, to rescue
05:48someone, we understand, or to see what the situation is. Leo, we will be back with you
05:55at any time, when you need it, when you need it, and well, of course, solidarity with
06:01all the people of Bahía Blanca and thank you for what you are doing with so much love
06:07and with so much dedication.
06:08Thank you, Clari, and I also want to highlight the work of Diego Traferi, who is our cameraman.
06:15Also him.
06:16Well, we are a team that is working on it.
06:19Well, there are missing people, we were saying, older adults, we were saying, these girls,
06:25Pilar and Delfina, of course, any information they may have, if they can find these girls,
06:32if someone visualizes them, finds them, sees them somewhere, the important thing is that
06:37they communicate with civil defense. And as for the issue of older adults, it is a very
06:42difficult situation. Always, the technical procedures that have to do with all the evacuation
06:49processes have older adults and children as vulnerable groups. We think, for these hours,
06:57how difficult it has been for older people who have chronic diseases, who need to have
07:04their medication on hand, that there are medications that lost refrigeration, that there are older
07:09adults who lost their walkers, who lost their wheelchairs, which are currently in evacuation
07:14centers, which are containing, but which, however, are perhaps hostile and even chaotic
07:21for an older adult, and the issue of the return, the issue of the return that must be sustained,
07:29the issue of the lack of supplies, of having lost perhaps material things that, although
07:34they are material, are valuable for people. And this reflection, I do it precisely because
07:41it is very important to accompany older people, be it their son, be it their grandfather, be
07:48their neighbor, because they are very difficult moments. You are from Bahía Blanca.
07:53I was thinking ...
07:54Adrián, you are having a very bad time, surely.
07:58I was thinking beyond telling people, in sending greetings to someone, and I can not, because
08:02they are all without light, we have very little contact with others, but hey, nothing.
08:07Do you have family there?
08:08Some cousin, Luisito, is there.
08:11But Luisito is fine.
08:12Yes, but I have a lot of friends, and the truth is that it is difficult to communicate,
08:16which is not good for people outside.
08:18But you know that they, your loved ones, are all fine.
08:20All I talked about are great, if you consider that having water in the kitchen or that it goes down
08:25through the walls, it is little.
08:28It is little.
