00:00Sound of running water.
00:12Sound of running water.
00:24Sound of running water.
00:30When we wanted to realize it, we already had it.
00:34We didn't have a solution.
00:36And well, you can see the disaster and the catastrophe that there is.
00:39And we are all very affected by the missing people, who are our friends.
00:44All the six missing are known.
00:48And friends.
00:51And we are very sad for not having them with us.
00:58It seems that there are several people who disappeared.
01:01Six, also. It is not known yet.
01:04The more hours pass, the more difficult it is to find them alive.
01:07But well, hope is never lost.
01:13This morning, when I came, I found him.
01:16Last night he was fine.
01:17He broke that window and the water goes up.
01:20And you can see how tired he is.
01:23But well, he destroyed everything.
01:26Sound of water.
01:40In a short time, water began to fall.
01:44At first it was only the rivage.
01:47And suddenly a lot of water began to come from the liberal side.
01:51And it was flooding.
01:54And the current reached practically the waist.
02:01In a very short time.
02:03For example, I have the house of my in-laws.
02:06The water came to me through the waist.
02:11We haven't slept all night.
02:13We haven't found the car, for example.
02:15We don't know where it is.
02:17It has been catastrophic.
02:19And on top of that, this is a part that is made of balsa.
02:22So, of course, there was no way to drain the water.
02:26So, fatal.
02:28I enter the courtyard, in the houses, up to the top.
02:34Sound of firecrackers.
02:45The pity are the people who have died.
02:47There have been many.
02:49There have been many people who have lost their lives.
02:52This, the truth is that, as I told you, are my savings.
02:56It is my effort, my life.
02:59But we are alive.
03:01Impotent, really.
03:04You see that in half an hour,
03:06that it was half an hour that the river grew,
03:09we have lost almost everything.
03:12Or everything, as the one who says.
03:14Also a terrible scare,
03:16because my family, my wife, my son,
03:18my wife had to take my daughter out in her arms
03:20when the water came through almost the chest,
03:24to be able to escape to the toilet.
03:26An impotence.
03:31Silence.
