This is emerging in Letur and the whole system is already in motion. The deployment of special forces is brutal. Schools have become the operational center. I see it from the window of one of the houses in the upper part of the city where families who live in the old town are welcomed. Passage is prohibited.
Everyone is involved.
The flood washed away everything it passed through. All. He divided the city in two starting from the White Cross (which is no longer there either). He demolished buildings, raised roads, gardens. The Canales (the natural swimming pool) and so many other things no longer exist…
It’s hard to understand it without seeing it, and it’s hard to see it without falling apart.
The meters and meters of rubble, mud, the insides of open doors and memories scattered in the streets.
You feel a strange relief when you arrive… Even if it’s to cry together. You look at each other and hug, without speaking
We finally arrived yesterday. I had been paralyzed for two days, I even had difficulty speaking, with terrible helplessness. Like everyone who is far from the city.
I couldn’t sleep a wink but that’s also general.
You feel a strange relief when you arrive… Even if it’s to cry together. You look at each other and hug, without speaking. “Suddenly a wave came, like a tsunami, if it wasn’t raining so much here. »
You never think that those disasters you see on TV could affect your loved ones.
Letur, the beautiful spa town of the Sierra del Segura. And one day, our vital resource, bombards you like a war enemy.
But a chest pain is above all. The real concern… And that’s that five of our people are missing… And one of our neighbors has been laid off.
In such a small town, what happens to one person happens to everyone. We want only unlocalized ones to appear. That’s all.
Afterwards, the people will rise, there is no doubt about it. Although it will never again be the Letur it was before, the new city will be rebuilt, even more beautiful, but with a deep scar.
It hurts to sympathize with all the other places that suffer, especially in the Valencian Community, who are neighbors and members of our family and who shelter us so often.
Thank you to all of you who are showing compassion and offering to help. The truth is that it is relieving. All the good is impressive despite the immense tragedy.
I hope that all the help promised by the institutions will arrive.
I hope people don’t forget when it stops getting traction.
Letur will once again be “the place of our recreation”, our “where”, our “then”. The aroma of fire, rosemary, thyme and lavender will return.
I assure you that the people of Leture have impressive strength.
They know what it means to resist and get back up.
