Un fuerte temporal de lluvia, viento y granizo causó destrozos en la provincia de Salta. Vecinos reportan árboles caídos y postes de tendido eléctrico derribados por vientos que han alcanzado los 80 km/h. El centro y este de la provincia se encuentran en alerta naranja. Las obras inconclusas o mal realizadas son señaladas como causantes del problema, especialmente una autopista que debía conectar la capital con el interior de la provincia.

00:00Climate change has come to stay, not only in Valencia, not only in Barcelona,
00:05where the international airport was being flooded, but also here.
00:09Look at what is happening in the province of Salta,
00:12what has happened in the last few hours.
00:14They fell 70 millimeters in just two hours.
00:16These are the images we are receiving of this real storm of rain,
00:20wind, hail and debris in Salta.
00:23There was material damage.
00:25At the time they told us that they were not being reviewed and evacuated.
00:28Now we are going to talk to our colleague David Aguirre.
00:31Neighbors from different towns have reported fallen trees,
00:35posts of electric tents destroyed by the intensity of the wind,
00:39with the danger that this implies.
00:41Winds that have marked 80 kilometers per hour.
00:45And there is an orange alert for the center and east of the province.
00:49Being 10 in the morning, we are going to communicate with David Aguirre.
00:53David, how are you? Good morning.
00:55Hello, Guille, how are you? Good morning.
00:57Greetings to the whole team.
00:59As we were seeing in the images, it is impressive.
01:02Those images are here, behind me.
01:05Behind me were the images from Sunday morning,
01:08when this storm left here in the Valle del Herma.
01:11We are 25 kilometers from the capital, Salteña,
01:1415 minutes by vehicle.
01:16We are very close, but this is a sector where the cut of the route
01:22by the large amount of water that falls.
01:26This street is called San Martín.
01:28The neighbors have already baptized it Río San Martín,
01:31because every time it rains, whether the magnitude,
01:34whether the storm or the rain, this route is cut.
01:37This is Route National 68.
01:40This is where we go to Caspallate, we go to the Calchaquí Valley,
01:43we go to Cachi, we go to visit those beautiful places
01:46that we see in the postcards.
01:48But we don't show this part, right?
01:50This part, which is where the work was not finished,
01:53and the work that was done, was done badly.
01:56And it still generates, after 24 hours,
01:58Guille, look, I'm going to run a little, I'm going to show you.
02:01After 24 hours, the water continues to go down.
02:04Look how the neighbors cross.
02:06Yes, I wanted to tell you.
02:07See how the neighbor is crossing?
02:08Yes, they are images, let's see,
02:10saving the distance of the catastrophic and the disaster,
02:13of the muddy waters that we have seen in Valencia, right?
02:17With cars that also stay there, drifting.
02:21But you were going to tell us why, what is attributed,
02:25what are the works, or the ones that were carried out,
02:28or the ones that were done badly, or the ones that were not carried out,
02:30that generate this type of inconvenience.
02:35Yes, well, the works that were not carried out,
02:37is a highway that will connect the capital of the province of Salta
02:41with the interior of the province,
02:43let's talk about the Calchaquí Valley,
02:45the Valle del Herma,
02:46it will connect some municipalities,
02:48and this work had, precisely within it,
02:51a sewerage,
02:54which was going to prevent all this water
02:57from continuing to go down from the municipalities
03:00that are further west of this national route.
03:04We have Rosario del Herma,
03:05which also suffers a lot from the water,
03:07Campo Quijano, which are municipalities that are
03:09already at the beginning of the Andes Mountains,
03:12here in the province of Salta.
03:13From there, the water goes down,
03:15it is received in these municipalities,
03:17it is received in this street,
03:18and they continue to go down to the Arenales River,
03:21which is the one that receives all the flows
03:23of the different springs,
03:24here in the province, in the Valle del Herma,
03:26in the province of Salta.
03:27The works, a highway,
03:29a sewerage,
03:31and the poorly done work,
03:32a pressurized irrigation work,
03:34that President Macri came to inaugurate
03:39part of the work in Campo Quijano,
03:41a pressurized irrigation that was going to give water
03:44to all these farms,
03:45which are tobacco-producing farms.
03:47That work was done poorly,
03:49the canals were deformed,
03:50the water levels began to change,
03:53and today, because of a rain, this is generated, right?
03:57The large amount of water in this highway,
03:59in this street.
04:00You are saying that money was spent and badly,
04:02that is, an engineering work was carried out there,
04:05but they did it badly,
04:06that's what you're saying?
04:08That's right, Guille, this work was done badly,
04:11which was a work,
04:12we all know it here in the province of Salta,
04:14the work of the pressurized irrigation channel
04:16that was going to provide
04:17the supply to the entire Valle del Herma.
04:20Let's talk about Cerrillos, La Merced,
04:22Rosario del Herma, El Carril,
04:24all the municipalities that are nearby,
04:26separated by less than 15 kilometers each,
04:29I repeat, 15 minutes from the capital
04:32of the province of Salta,
04:34and this work deformed many of the natural canals
04:37that had the different drainages,
04:39the different fountains here in the Valle del Herma,
04:41and well, it causes this, right?
04:43That the water flows,
04:44but it flows to other places,
04:46that it flows in the opposite direction
04:49to what it had naturally.
04:51And well, they get to the urban part,
04:53they get to these streets,
04:54that unfortunately all this sector,
04:56it is a sector where there is,
04:58where we have a high school,
05:00we have a primary school,
05:02half a block away is the municipality of La Merced,
05:05the municipality of La Merced
05:06is not the fault of the mayor,
05:08we have to say it this way,
05:10it is not the fault of the mayor.
05:12Here in La Merced,
05:13a fact happened,
05:15which was very striking, right?
05:17It did not rain in La Merced,
05:19and this street received the water
05:21of the rain that was happening
05:23in the municipalities above,
05:25like Rosario del Herma,
05:26and like Capo Chicano.
05:27Say one thing,
05:28are there evacuees or injured people,
05:30injured?
05:33We have some facts,
05:35but we have facts out of imprudence,
05:37and of course facts
05:38on the subject of the large amount of water, right?
05:41One of the facts out of imprudence
05:43was a vehicle
05:45that tried to cross the Rosario river,
05:48it is known that way,
05:50a river that comes
05:51just crossing several municipalities,
05:54which comes from La Quebrada del Toro,
05:56crosses Campo Chicano,
05:57Rosario del Herma,
05:58crosses the 68th street,
06:00and continues to General Belgrano,
06:02Cabra Corral,
06:03as we know it here.
06:05This river has a rural area
06:08that is passing the river
06:10between Rosario del Herma
06:11and this sector
06:12between the municipality of Chicano.
06:13This vehicle tried to cross
06:15and the river took it.
06:16The truth is that it could not gain
06:18the strength of the water,
06:19and the river took it.
06:20In Rosario del Herma,
06:21there is danger that everything is repeated.
06:23David,
06:24what does the weather forecast say there?
06:28Today we have a maximum of 28 degrees,
06:31which we are already experiencing
06:32at the moment,
06:33but tomorrow it is forecast,
06:36storm tomorrow,
06:37the day after tomorrow
06:38we have a high probability of rain
06:40again here in Rosario del Herma,
06:41and let's see,
06:42tomorrow this is going to be a river again,
06:44because it rains where it rains,
06:46this place receives the water, Guillermo.
06:49How terrible.
06:50Mimi, how are you?
06:51Good morning.
06:52Good morning, Guillermo.
06:53What can you tell us?
06:54Well, everything that David has explained very well.
06:56Three more days of rain,
06:57this could be much worse.
06:59Yes, it has been several days
07:01that there is a yellow alert
07:03over the area,
07:04particularly in the provinces of Jujuy and Salta.
07:06This sector of the Argentine Republic
07:08has already entered the rainy season,
07:11a rainy season that extends
07:13until the month of March.
07:15Historically,
07:16this area of the country
07:17has very intense rains
07:19during this period,
07:20summer period,
07:21and due to these conditions,
07:24it is necessary to maximize the precautions,
07:27regardless of the natural conditions.
07:29Well, what the chronicler has reported
07:32regarding the infrastructure works,
07:34which is another topic,
07:36but we must say
07:37that the yellow alert continues
07:39on Jujuy and on the province of Salta
07:42in effect today
07:43and will continue also tomorrow.
07:45Well, thank you, Mimi.
07:46And David, we send you a hug.
07:51See you later.
07:52Excellent task.
07:53Wait, Mimi, don't go.
07:54Is there a meteorological alert
07:55for the capital and Gran Buenos Aires?
07:57Because when we were coming,
07:58a dark gray cloud
08:00seemed to have formed
08:01over the sky of Buenos Aires.
