NewsTranscript
00:00It is a difficult situation that Bahía Blanca is going through.
00:05We are talking about a storm that was truly wild.
00:10Tremendous, the way it rained and did not stop raining for five or six hours.
00:17And those 300 millimeters that report from the National Meteorological Service
00:22caused, among other things, this.
00:25That the streets were completely flooded.
00:30That's how the water circulated, real rivers,
00:33that took everything they found in their path.
00:36This is not one of the worst images,
00:39but it does show how the water was entering.
00:42In places, in houses, we are talking about the center of the city
00:46and everything that surrounds that center of Bahía Blanca.
00:51The whole city was at the mercy of this storm
00:55and it implied that the first reliefs were made immediately,
00:58with a figure of ten fatal victims,
01:02with more than 1,300 evacuees,
01:05people who did not want to leave their homes, but had to do it.
01:11When the water was advancing, there was nothing to do.
01:15This is another example to save some objects
01:19or the cars themselves that were left on the street
01:23and that were dragged, in many cases, by that current.
01:27This is another of the images that show the dimension of what happened.
01:33Both the provincial authorities, with Axel Kicillof at the head,
01:37present in the place, monitoring each of the actions
01:41in the emergency center that was formed
01:44to link the federal forces that are working in the place,
01:48civil defense, the municipal authorities,
01:52and the whole community that is ready to provide
01:56in solidarity what those people who suffered the worst need.
02:01And without a doubt, beyond everything I'm telling you,
02:05now comes the complicated stage,
02:08the reconstruction, everything that was damaged,
02:12but starting to get the water out,
02:15it reached a level of two meters in height, Paula.
02:18Starting to get the water out, well, in some cases with bombs,
02:22with tools, but the water there does not absorb,
02:25the water runs through the geography of the place.
02:29And you said the important thing now of this stage,
02:32which is going to be very long, of course, the reconstruction.
02:35You know that Bahia is a city and an area really very punished climatically.
02:39Less than a year and a half ago, in December,
02:42we were finishing 2023, when it had the wind storm,
02:46and there were 13 deaths at that time,
02:49with the amount of flying ceilings, fallen trees and others,
02:52which left the city uncommunicated for more than a week.
02:56And also the reconstruction took a lot of time.
03:00It is just recovered, and look now, this disaster again,
03:04which also has it uncommunicated and with a lot of damage,
03:08and lamenting fatal victims.
03:10Yes, the worst, I do not say that it is to come,
03:13but it must be said that the instability still remains
03:16in this area of Bahia Blanca.
03:19It is not an instability that generates a lot of concern,
03:23but if it continues to rain,
03:26this will mean that all the tasks that have to be done from now on
03:30will be complicated.
03:32The assistance to the damaged, those who were evacuated.
03:36A little while ago we showed you how the last rains had been,
03:40with important characteristics in Bahia Blanca,
03:43and this one surpassed everything.
03:44It surpassed everything, its historical record.
03:46Historical record, Victor.
03:47And not only in Bahia Blanca.
03:49Yesterday, the truth is, I took care of calling,
03:51he just answered me today, a little while ago,
03:53a friend who sent him a message yesterday at 7 in the afternoon.
03:56In other words, problems with communications beyond the dramatic situation.
03:59He tells me, we just have a signal, we have no water, we have no light,
04:01but I also communicated with people from Olavarría,
04:04people from Heró, people from Pigüé, people from Tres Arroyos,
04:09who are also first with the floods.
04:13Route 33, all routes, we have the report of the routes that cannot be transited.
04:17And above all, you know that, for example, in Tres Arroyos,
04:20friends who have children who are studying or working in Bahia Blanca told me,
04:26and obviously they wanted to go look for them,
04:28and what everyone said is, wait, don't go look for them,
04:31because it is more problem to the problem.
04:33Of course.
04:34That they charge their cell phones.
04:35Of course, if you want to meet a relative,
04:37it can imply that you also have a risk,
04:41that it is not good to run, right?
04:43Exactly, I said, look, the guys are fine,
04:45surely they are at home, they will be with candles,
04:47with a flashlight, obviously without light, without water.
04:50They recommended that they use the batteries of the notebooks
04:53to charge their cell phones, for when they have a signal.
04:56In other words, the truth is not only Bahia Blanca,
04:59but the whole environment and everything that follows,
05:02because it is not only the city, the countryside,
05:04the truth is that it is a natural disaster.
05:07Really, of the few times we remember.
05:10It reminds me of the floods of the 80s,
05:13I remember going down Route 12 and it was all water.
05:15Yes, it was all water, on one side and on the other side of the road.
05:18Exactly.
05:19Without a doubt.
05:20Well, this is the panorama, we repeat it to you,
05:23there is an alias for those who want to approach some type of donation,
05:28Bahia x Bahia.
05:31It is Bahia x Bahia.
05:34It is the only official alias that has spread yesterday,
05:38I insist, in the joint work that the authorities of the province of Buenos Aires are doing,
05:43with Axel Kicillof at the head,
05:45who yesterday from the operations center tweeted,
05:48posted some photos,
05:50where he is also working with Patricia Ulrich and Luis Petri.
05:54These are moments where you have to set an example.
05:57And it seems to me that it is a circumstance in which it would be good to rebuild links
06:02and leave any type of difference.
06:05And take this dramatic situation, perhaps as a starting point,
06:10to join efforts and work in an associated way.
06:15The municipality also, providing the neighbors with recommendations,
06:19in the face of situations like this, because what arises?
06:23For the rain, the worst seems to have already been left behind.
06:27The people who want to return home, but this also implies a risk,
06:31so the authorities of the municipality of Bahia Blanca,
06:34also with a series of recommendations, will try to accompany all the inhabitants.
06:40I insist, 1,300 evacuated,
06:42the normalization that is encouraged also by the hospitals,
06:45we saw images of the nurses, the incubators,
06:49taking out the babies,
06:51holding the situation to see if they could stay in the place.
06:56When they saw that the facilities of these hospitals did not tolerate it,
07:02well, they decided to take them to another place to keep them safe.
07:07Critical situation, for others.
07:10We are, from the 24th, also accompanied for any need that arises from there.
07:17Manu Ginobili, and this post, Manu was born in Bahia Blanca,
07:22another hard blow for my dear Bahia Blanca,
07:25now a flood.
07:27How sad what is seen.
07:29A huge hug at a distance to all those who are having a bad time.
07:33I send strength from this post, the great Manu Ginobili,
07:39who always helps and will surely help even more in a desperate situation like this.
07:48This is the picture of rain, right?
07:50How the time comes for the next few hours,
07:52although strong rains are not expected,
07:54but it is estimated that the weather alert would continue,
08:01so let's take it into account.
08:03Franco Colapinto, Formula 1 racer,
08:06says, let's see, a tweet from someone who is like my brother,
08:11desperate because he has the family on the second floor,
08:14with the whole house flooded in Bahia,
08:16a lot of acquaintances who are the same,
08:18I uploaded it for that, and for a lot of people who lost everything,
08:22not for politicians, I have no idea of politics.
08:25Of course, on social networks, many times,
08:28some posts are tried to muddy, which are sincere on the part,
08:35in this case, of a sportsman like Franco Colapinto.
08:38There, doing charity, the Formula 1 racer,
08:41with respect to an acquaintance,
08:43and to those who are living there in Bahia Blanca.
08:46The time, tragic, with 10 people dead,
08:51different circumstances led to that nothing could be done
08:55to save these people.
08:57The material damage is very high,
09:01and I would tell you, today, incalculable.
09:05It cannot be dimensioned yet,
09:07until they begin to normalize many situations
09:12derived from the advance of water.
09:15How sad to see cars floating, a refrigerator,
09:21the search to try to do something,
09:24when in reality nothing can be done.
09:26When the water advances, it is a content.
09:28I say, the water, the smoke and the ash,
09:30has not only the immediate consequence,
09:32but the long-term consequence.
09:34Because this is what we are seeing,
09:36the water goes down, the first thing you see is the immediate.
09:39But then this continues.
09:41Imagine all the consequences, not only,
09:43forget the field, forget the situation that one works,
09:47but all the consequences in your own home,
09:50in your place, the things that appear to you a lot,
09:52after they break, because they flooded,
09:54or because something else happened.
09:56Mario Navarro is a meteorologist,
09:58he is with us, we add him,
10:00to know what conditions will be in Bahia Blanca
10:03in terms of weather.
10:05Mario, good morning.
10:06How are you, Eduardo? A pleasure, a pleasure.
10:08How are you?
10:09Good. Let's see, tell us,
10:11for today in Bahia Blanca, what does the forecast say?
10:13They will have covered weather,
10:15I still consider it partially new,
10:17and gradually improving it,
10:19the meteorological conditions,
10:21throughout the entire south-central,
10:23center-west and center-southwest of the province of Buenos Aires.
10:26What you are seeing there on the map
10:28is the most serious thing we have now,
10:30which has been transferred to the Argentine northeast.
10:33What happened yesterday
10:35is a recurrence,
10:37not only due to climate change,
10:39but we have had three significant events
10:41in Argentina.
10:43One was the previous one,
10:45which was in La Plata, do you remember?
10:47It was more than 250 millimeters
10:49about 17 years ago.
10:51The other, smaller,
10:53was ours, in Ciudad Chica,
10:55which rained 312 millimeters
10:57on February 15, 2015.
11:00And the previous largest
11:02was when Rautemann was there,
11:04in 1992,
11:06which were 412 millimeters.
11:08That is, of these events,
11:10we have had several with a recurrence,
11:12and yesterday was something
11:14that always happens when we have
11:16other types of significant events,
11:18high pressure, with a rotor front
11:20on the same axis,
11:22and storm regeneration.
11:24So not having such a significant movement
11:26that corrects the air mass,
11:28what happens?
11:30The same extract continues to precipitate,
11:32with such a huge and wide extract,
11:34it has a precipitation of volume
11:36in a short period of time.
11:38So it can precipitate in hours
11:40between 40, 60 and 90 millimeters.
11:42And it can be 2 or 3 hours
11:44continuous,
11:46so it makes 200 or 300 millimeters.
11:48Let's see, it was known that it was going to rain,
11:50they had given a state of alert,
11:52so people knew that
11:54the weather was going to become unstable.
11:56Can it be previously warned
11:58that the rain is going to be
12:00of this magnitude, like the one that ended up happening?
12:02Yes, there are models.
12:04This past week,
12:06I also issued
12:08a special weather alert
12:10for customers and for some organisms.
12:12And one of the things I had said
12:14was that Bahia Blanca, Mar del Plata del Sur,
12:16was going to have an average of rain
12:18between 189 and 215 millimeters.
12:20One of the provinces
12:22that was going to affect the most.
12:24The province that affected yesterday
12:26was also Santiago del Estero
12:28and it was the province of Santa Fe,
12:30which also rained 180.
12:32With the models,
12:34as there are 9 or 8 models,
12:36you are coupling and seeing the amount.
12:38And it gives an average.
12:40That average is to be able to give
12:42a 20% up or a 20% down by default.
12:44So you stay in the middle.
12:46And there are places that marked
12:48314 millimeters.
12:50So I didn't give 314, I gave 220.
12:52Yes.
12:54Mario, you know exactly
12:56what was the amount of water
12:58that fell.
13:00The last record in Bahia Blanca.
13:02314 millimeters.
13:04314 millimeters.
13:06And the period,
13:08that was 5 or 6 hours.
13:10It was 4 hours 45 minutes
13:12the most intense.
13:14314 millimeters
13:16then in 4 hours 45 minutes.
13:18Yes.
13:20There is no soil that tolerates
13:22that amount of water.
13:24There is no soil that tolerates
13:26that amount of water, I say.
13:28Yes, but there was also the problem
13:30of the sea.
13:32It is as if it were a lagoon
13:34that remained on itself.
13:36Then it did not have a spill,
13:38the drainage.
13:40In addition to a drainage
13:42of a sustainable level,
13:44it would have been evacuated faster.
13:46Then everything was like a pot.
13:48If the event
13:50had been with the same situation
13:52of 30,
13:5420 millimeters,
13:56the situation would have been different.
13:58Then, as it rained more than 60,
14:00one hour it rained 64,
14:02another hour it rained 56,
14:04another hour it rained 71, 80.
14:06Well, this is the consequence.
14:08You can not stand
14:10a certain period with 200 millimeters
14:12if it is in a way
14:14tenuous and moderate.
14:16It was intense and collapsed.
14:18Unfortunately, it collapsed.
14:20Mario, thank you for talking to us
14:22and for telling us all this.
14:24Likewise, thank you.
14:26Until next time.
