There is no longer any type of alert in the province except on the Tropical Coast, where the yellow alert persists, announced by the State Meteorological Agency, due to “atmospheric phenomena”, which must be translate as strong wind.
One day when the storm was getting worse and worse, they took the worst Santa Fe and Chauchinamunicipalities of the Metropolitan Area of the capital. Around seven o’clock in the afternoon of the fateful Wednesday, November 13, the Salado stream and the Cañada del Francés overflowed and, as a result, the A-92 highway was flooded.
It was at the height of Le Jaua neighborhood in Santa Fe close to the airport, a point where yesterday more than 82 liters per square meter fell. Puddles began to form and eventually the highway had to be closed to traffic. Even though there was not much traffic, some cars were stuck and firefighters came from Granada to rescue their occupants.
The Civil Traffic Guard allowed alternative routes through Santa Fe and Chauchina, but in this second core major problems arose very soon after. The overflows flooded itto the point that the municipal council recommended that residents of low houses – ground floor and first floor – go up to the upper floor.
There were nervous moments but, as happened in the rest of the province, there were no serious incidents. THE emergency plans Previously activated by town halls, in coordination with emergency services, they have generally worked well.
It is also worth noting the large amount of water that fell in Granada, almost 70 liters per square meter. Precipitation They didn’t stop all dayalthough it is true that they were not too intense. Water was, so to speak, rationed.
This Thursday There are still no classes in schools and institutes out of a total of 125 municipalities in the province. The university has decided that there will only be teaching activities in the afternoon and even though the sky is overcast, the feeling is that normality is returning. The palpable proof is that at eight in the morning, traffic was restored on the A-92 which passes through Santa Fe. One lane towards Granada – technically Seville – is still closed, but the other three are available.
