“We can say it. We are alive.” This is a message from Isabel. A message from one of the people affected by the terrible DANA which devastated Valencia. The one who was hit by one of the worst floods in memory. For someone who lost their childhood. For a girl who saw how her mother, a resident of Chiva, He lost absolutely everything.
“All his memories… There is nothing. It’s a ruin. The garden and the garage have disappeared. The house… there is no house. There is nothing. It’s suspended. There is only the upper part,” he told Sara Rincón, journalist from laSexta.
Because everything caught up with them at once: “I found my mother’s two cats alive and saved thembut there is nothing. There is only rubble. I was with my mother, who had leaks in the dining room and was very distressed. “I didn’t want her to come down, she never wants help.”
“But I did, and we were drawing water around four in the afternoon. When we realized, around 6:30 or 7:00 p.m., they told us to get out of there because it was a flood. It was a hurricane. “I saw my mother and I said to her, ‘Mom, let’s go now, we’re going to drown!'” she continued.
In his head, everything is going: “Oh my God, the poor people trapped… and what remains for us to see. I have my memories in my house. “My mother, a poor 79-year-old woman, her house… Everything.”
